For Sale:Ellis Briggs Vintage Men's Racing Bike, 23 inch frame
£250
Location: Edinburgh
I am listing this on ebay from 26th December, unless I receive any sensible offers in advance of then! Get in touch with an offer if you are interested (nothing silly!)
Ellis Briggs gents racing bike with unique vintage paintwork.
The frame is Reynolds 531 competition tubing with a custom respray and is in reasonable conditions for its age. See http://www.ellisbriggscycles.co.uk/history/ for more detail on this famous frame builder.
There is some very minor corrosion on the top tube, near the headset and around the dropouts, and some damage to the paintwork on the underside of the downtube and on the chain stays but no more than would be expected of a vintage bike. Runs well, though some minor adjustment of the rear mechanism may be required.
Local pickup preferred, any delivery is to be arrange by buyer, I will package it with cardboard boxes as well as I can, but no guarantees can be given.
Viewings welcome.
Sale required by the wife - I have too many bikes and not enough time to ride them.
