Who'd you use for frames under a tenner? Parcelforce? If you're a business seller then: Ebay charge 14%on selling price🙄 ... but they allow you to charge your own postage amount, and choose your own courier😃

While we are all reluctant to accept change, most change brought to us by the megacorps makes them more money and less liable. 🙄 On the+ve note, if you let ebay buy the courier service(making sure the weight and sizes are correct) they then deal with the "I never got it mate" customers...

Worth less per kilo if its mixed materials

... after the white van obvs. I wonder if they checked whether White Van Man was still belted in?

It's rare! And cheap! Ideal candidate for everyone's personal bike museum.😁

60s tobig for you, unfortunately. You'll never get the ride to feel right. Slightly more modern, tig welded 631: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167405512696?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DK0qo0RrSdG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FfKWcIN2RE6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY We sold these...

Surly LHT is a lump of iron compared to top end 531. But if you want discs, you need thicker gauges. And fatter tyres make tube compliance less important.

Spend your money on nostalgic old crap - you won't be sorry. I never am anyway.

You really want a drop bar to cover miles. Those early 90s 531 tourers like the rando, royal, dalesperson or gal are nearly perfect. Make sure you get 8 speed cassette and canti setup, so it's all modernisable if required. You'll find the stem is too long, and the bars are too throwy and deep...

No fear cap, rox shirt: perfect It's out there😉

👍get building! Retro outfit also required here.

It's quite a basic bike to spend a lot of time on - but if you're happy then it's no problem. I think you'll find the brakes are inadequate for the gearing and riding position. An "allround" bar would probably work better, although you might need to replace the brake levers and possibly...

It's retro in concept, right down to the slightly-misaligned bar ends😃

I could ask - How much do you want to offer him? "More than the bike's worth" would be about right😉

Image dated 2013, 20" 6speed Interestingly an image search brings up loads of familiar brands offering 20" wheel shopper style bikes to the east/southeast Asian market

Seems obvious now, but they had to sink the airliner in a massive pool of water and pressurise/ deinflate it hundreds of times to find out the problem!. Some 90s aluminium frames had those round corners where the Chainstay and the seat stay were a single tube bent round - possibly trying to...

Early compact chainset. Change gear at the summit, and in the valley. Probably while smoking a Gauloise. I know that in the 40s, aluminium fatigue cycles were not fully understood*, but in the 21st century, this looks like an obvious problem: I don't think I'd take this out for a ride of more...
