    Beautiful bike

    Hi All, A beautiful bike, but eyewateringly expensive - even at half the price . . .& over £60 for postage ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1949-50-Pari ... Sw47dZxUdI At that price, I'd hardly dare to ride it and it would need to be very well insured. If I were to purchase that at even a 1/4...

    Paris Galibier

    Take a look at this Paris Galibier: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1949-50-Paris ... Sw47dZxUdI At that price, I'd want it delivered by chauffeur, but they are asking an extra £64.

    Just saved from the skip !

    Hi, I've just saved this Gary Fisher Marlin from the skip - just needs a bit of fettling and it'll be good to use. I don't know how old it is, but the frame condition is excellent. I'm told that it was thrown out, by someone who wanted a bike with suspension. I'd appreciate it, if anyone can...

    Very rare bike - good buy for someone

    Hi All, Take a look at this, could be very nice, with a bit of cleaning/fettling. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/velosport-rey ... SwtZJY9KOg At a guess, I'd say it is from the end of the 50s - early 60s ?

    Manx TT

    Re: I may have had too many beers - with my (hazy) eyesight, the forks look slightly 'pushed back'.

    Raleigh on Ebay

    An interesting Raleigh on Ebay . . . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142289473541 It says that it is a '1973 Raleigh ti road race bike original parts and paint' The decals say that the tubing is 531C . . . I thought that 531C tubing was introduced rather later than that ? So when was it introduced ?

    Take a look at this frame on Ebay : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-ROAD- ... 2392126645 Anyone know anything about this one ? 'P. A. Lewendon' 'Paroyal Cycles' Western Avenue, London W5'. Was this built in-house, or was it bought in and then the shop put on their own (distinctive)...

    British Eagle 531 project. Almost finished...

    Thank you for all the information that you've provided - most interesting. Now you've pointed them out, I can certainly see the differences. Will my bike be a British made British Eagle ? I assumed it would be, as I got it from Berriew - as small village just North of Newtown. The tubing on...

    British Eagle 531 project. Almost finished...

    The frame & forks of the Force 18 bike look similar to my own - but is the Reynolds transfer on mine a similar date ? The tubing on mine looks more slender than I'd have expected for a 'Hybrid' bike, I wonder if it is also road tubing ? The Reynolds transfer says "Reynolds Butted Frame Tubing"...

    British Eagle 531 project. Almost finished...

    Here are some pics; it doesn't display the quality of your own steed, but I guess this is more of a functional 'do everything' type of bike. Obviously, the wheels aren't original, but I think that everything else is. It's surprisingly light. Oh yes, I've never seen the word 'Hybrid' on a...

    British Eagle with Pics !!

    I think that they made three models. I've recently picked up a British Eagle Kinetic 500EX, mine has decals - 'British Eagle Kinetic 500EX' but it also has large (original) decals saying 'Hybrid' and '50/50'. It is surprisingly light - I wonder how the frame differs (if at all), from the...

    Ever seen anything like this ?

    There's an unusual frame for sale on EBay; it is difficult to tell, but I assume that whilst the decals might be original, the paint looks rather more recent. And surely, the lug lining isn't original . . . Any opinions ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162053123315? ... EBIDX%3AIT
