Some people seem to think that if they turn the handlebars upside down on an old Raleigh then they can quadruple it's value.

A £1250 starting bid seems a bit steep for a Gios Pista and the seller is going to start stripping it down if he doesn't get it. I wonder if he has just moved out of the White House?

I expect it will be up as a bare for 950 in a few days.

£380 seems a bit steep for an Apollo MTB, even if it has had the gears removed.

It is nice and is the right colour but it's rather small, has tubs and goodness knows what it's made of.

I never trust old bars and stems, however high-end.

£433.68 for a 'Black Knight' 3-speed. You won't find another one!

I've just seen it's from the US, perhaps old British bikes make that sort of money over there? I like the Raleigh chainring though.

Dont know about not finding another one but know i could not sell another one at that price?

Very similar to my Claude Butler 531 tourer, for which I paid the princely sum of £67 -

'Vintage' CB

Admittedly mine lacks the patina...
