Price Drop £520 bump

Anyone interested bump?

Have this lovely Mercian with original paint up for sale. 53cm c-c Seat tube. It's had a full strip down and rebuild during lockdown including new tyres, cables and bar tape so is riding beautifully. It does have a bit of rust under the bottom bracket and there was a scrape from chain slip...

Re: Thanks for getting back to me regarding top tube size. I keep checking back on this but just don’t think I can afford the full build. Would you consider selling frame and fork only? And if so how much would you want? Many thanks, Jake

Re: Lovely looking bike could you tell me the top tube length please? And its a bit of a long shot but any chance you know the weight? Either built up or frame and fork? Cheers

Re: Haha no worries. Happy to reduce the price further if your interested, could knock off another £100 or something. Let me know your thoughts or drop me a DM and I’ll give u my number to discuss as it does need a new home. :) Jake

Im parting ways with this beautiful Chas Roberts as its just a bit too large for me and just wont ever get the riding it deserves whilst I have my trusty 58cm Roberts by my side. £1100 or nearest offer! As in the title it's serial dates it to 1998 I believe and is built in Reynolds 853...

Re: Thanks very much for the info! I haven’t seen too many Argos frames but the brazing at the rear dropout does look similar to the few I’ve seen. Sounds reasonably hopeful then in regards to it being an Argos frame which would be a nice surprise as I’d started to give up hope of finding out...

Re: Apologies for the repetition but still wondering if anyone might have any extra info since the discovery of the frame serial number. Did any u.k makers (or any others for that matter) employ a two digit number system? Thanks I’m advance.

Re: Not too much unfortunately. “It's always tricky to identify frames like this, it's a lovely frame but doesn't have any distinctive features to make a manufacturer come to mind” This was before the serial was revealed so could perhaps get back in touch

Re: UPDATE: Had the frame shot blasted for respray and it revealed the double digit serial number 22 on both the bottom bracket and steerer tube. Does this point towards any u.k builder perhaps? Still hoping someone might be able to add something

Re: Thanks for the info so far. I’ve started to disassemble and found It has Campagnolo fork dropouts but nothing on the frame. Will check the steerer tube for a serial today and I will contact Argos. Cheers!

Picked up this nice lightweight 653 frame which looks to have been resprayed by Argos at some point. Im hoping someone here might be able to give me some clue as to potential brand/frame builder? Cant seem to see a serial unfortunately. Nice teardrop filed lug work and fastback stays. Any...

Thanks for all the replies. Yep no braze on for other shifter and they are nut fitting brakes too. Possibly swapped for the originals for some reason? Who knows but thanks for the info.

Picked up this Mercian which is a bit on the small side the other day and was wondering if anyone could help out with info regarding model etc and potential value? Serial No. 62483 so i'm assuming its from 1983 but i'm none the wiser when it comes to the model? I cant seem to see any with...

Re: For Sale Vitus 979 - Shimano 600 Tricolor 49 cms 400 Pounds does this have a price please?

Re: Thanks for replies so far! Hmm i had hoped those seat stay caps might be a significant clue as i've not seen them quite this shape before. It seems the fork crown, lugs and dropouts are fairly common though so not much help there i guess... Im curious as to whether the Raleigh brakes and...

Re: Neither unfortunately :/

Hi, I've been a frequenter and admirer of this site for sometime but have never posted anything so please let me know if I haven't followed procedure here. I was hoping that someone on here might be able to help identify a recent purchase of mine. Bought on gumtree, it was advertised as being...

Re: Gonna try and keep them together for the time being but will let you know details if it comes to a split. cheers
