Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

Two tandems at Streetbikes in Huddersfield for £50 + buyers fee each:

Claud Butler - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167459047675

Merlin - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167459038561

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

The clays butler looks better spec alloy rims, SPD pedals etc? Just needs new tyres and a service I expect.

I'm away ATM but worth a look. My daughter would love that 🥰

Anyone want to go halves?

Tandems are great fun and everyone should ride one once or twice a year

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

Perhaps goes some way to justifying the low price then..

Yes, thanks for the 453 info - wasn't aware of that tubing or decal. The bike seemed wrong for 653.

A lugged Falcon step through - with a green Reynolds decal - drillum chainset, half chromed fork & l/f hubs: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15689167...5Xd11/f4dk1d0m5K2UajMvgw==|tkp:Bk9SR7yc7bTIZQ

Same seller also has a repainted 50s Armstrong & 70s Kalkhoff for sale.

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.

It’s a buyer’s market for a lot of fields, clocks, musical instruments and railwayana are three that have gone down in recent years, and unlikely to recover in value.

Is that after a prolonged period of growth in prices? Seems a lot of credit-fuelled bubbles are unsurprisingly bursting..

I recently bought a new pair of 501 Levis on ebay for £27. At that price I expected them to be knock-offs, but they are perfect. It was only a few years ago that they were £75 to £90.
