Colnago advertised in Dudley, West Midlands for £60
https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/men-s-road-bike/1190808360

It much be too good to be true................

It looks like a 1980's Colnago Mexico, but I have limited knowledge of Italian machines.

Looking at the forks, it's probably a fake Colnago, but still worth £60.................

Interesting Raleigh for £65. I have no idea what model but the chrome forks and stays should help someone identify it.

 

[DCLane]

Right. No more bikes. Decided. So why am I looking and found these two with a start price of £30 for both?

and

What the heck are they? This is the logo on the black one which appears to show "The Challenge Cycle & Motor Co Ltd" which I'm led to believe was in Coventry:

Interesting indeed . Looks like a Carlton built Raleigh with the Giro D'Italia Victor seat seat cluster......export model?

Well worth the price

The link is for a Retrobike thread but shows the Victor sest stays nicely, the frame in the eBay add does not have the proper sloping fork crown so the forks are not original....shame really. Getting it to look right would be a bit of a chore with the kit that's on it as well.

less than 2 hours to go and only at £26 the groupset is worth 2 to three times that on its own , pity no post.

Looks a bit wrong almost as if it has been in a bump , local enough but not sure it's worth the effort

Interesting thread, op sells 2 frames for £600 and then decides he will withdraw them and sell them for double.....

Frames way to small for me though.

Exceptional bike, £120.
Southampton, Hampshire, recycle workshop.

Early 90's,Terry Dolan, before he sold the Cougar company name?

Size, I guess 23inch top tube c-t?

I don't think they know how good this bike is, but still too long a drive for me.

Very nice - love the slightly dodgy paint design! Shame, it's just the right size for be but S'hampton is still too far and I'm 100 miles closer than you!
