Rare Overbury's gauging interest.

Darcus · Saturday at 17:53

I acquired this a couple of years ago from a guy in Bristol as an unbuilt frame and then built it up into something I'll never ride. I want to sell either the frame or whole bike. The paint was inspired by that black and green Overburys Pioneer 'Joker' elevated stay I've seen after extensive google searches . It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea! Currently furnished in LX and DX with Suntour brakes and diacomp levers . It's very rare! Not sure about value or how desirable it is either. Let me know! Cheers

Personally not a fan of the colourway, although it's a been beautifully executed.
The frameset is incredible.

Value is hard to gauge, it's a rare bike from a maker with a strong following, but the market is a bit depressed right now.

I'd put it up for auction, pretty sure you'll get a bit of a bidding war going.

That's stunning! There will be a lot of interest in this e-stay Overbury's. Love the bonkers paint.

You can ask here for opinions on price:

But I suspect you've probably already got some PM's with cheeky offers!!!

I think people will be mostly interested in the frame & forks, seatpost and stem/headset.

Has the inside of the non-drive side chainstay been damaged/crushed? Or is that just dirt?

I 100% accept that the paint is quite marmite, but in the 80s/early 90s anything was up for grabs!

I think auction is probably the way if I can be bothered! Bigger audience and all that. Put a basket on the front and the café cruiser types will be biting my arm off!

Auction is right for this imo. Be sure to post a link in the auction forum on here.
