I wonder if they'll give a discount to whichever lucky "enthusisat" buys it, for replacement of those bow-sting-taught brake cables

And the missing 'spike' in the front wheel.

And the missing 'spike' in the front wheel.

I noticed that too, although I assumed it was the result of over-zealous autocorrect..

It may just be my eyes, but this frame looks bent and it's £50: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156117838229

Bent. Those redesigned late folding KPs did that. A Lot. I met a bloke who used to sell them, sent them all back. The classic folders didn’t bend.

Wow - never seen any of the Raleigh variants do that trick.

Seller wanting £2k for an old Raleigh Team - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404901688075 Yes, it's got Dura-Ace but it's the 7900 10-speed version. Worth £500 at the very most imo.

It’s 12 years old!

I’m amazed this little beauty hasn‘t been snapped up; especially with a clean and some a little bit of TLC it’s worth up to £5K (the ‘up to’ being very relevant here). Forget your heritage Italian bikes, this one’s all the way from Basildon.

Makes you wonder why the seller doesn't " Refrubrish " it themselves and keep the extra £2,500 for themselves 😉

Yep - they’ve missed a trick there!
