Holdsworth "Triath Elan", £60, Daventry.

I know nowt about these but it seems like a decent bike for the money, on the face of it.

A real shame to see what appears to be such a nice, quality bike struggling to sell for so litte..

Classic Carrera looks mint?

Yeah, that's the same one I posted a couple of pages ago and you said you didn't like the Carrera brand !

Seller offered it at £72 for a couple of days but no-one bit.

Sales are very quiet - I've sold my Vitus 797 but it's a lot harder at the moment imo.

On the plus side there's a lot of bargains out there, but you need storage space and be willing to hold onto them for what may be several years.

In decent condition apparently and the right size, too. More pictures would have been nice, though.

Might well have been on my way to Northampton had I not just bought a '92 Raleigh Royal project for the same money.

Definitely going to have to sell before I can bring any in, now .

Yep, exactly, you beat me to it.

I asked him if the seat post and stem were free to adjust a d got an instant answer saying seat post wasn't and he hadn't tried or would try the handle bar stem

Would have been tempted by that if it was local to me. Does it say somewhere what size it is?

Nope. Big! I'd ask the Hospice and, whilst you're asking, get a photo of the drive-train side. Happy to collect and store for a bit if it'd help

It looks a bit bigger than the 59cm 1950's Carlton I've got for sale so I'd go 61-63cm. Far, far too big for stumpy me. I can't even get my leg over the Carlton.

I'm 6'4" so it might be ok. I'll may enquire if my wife is going to be down that way for work in the near future.

I'm trying, and failing, to work out the sizing of each one. Anyone want to go halves?
