Hello all - selling one of my many steel machines on eBay, to make space and a bit of budget to build another steel machine, you know how it goes

Happy to answer any questions.

NICE. But it won't pass muster as an Eroica machine unless those brake cables are flying in the wind!

I'm sure you can re-route them outside and around the perfectly formed internal cable routing should the commissaires require it!

Re:

Dead right - internal frame routing is allowed.

Re:

Hello all - bids are now starting at 200 GBP on this bike. I have a nice cardboard bike box ready and waiting for this machine to be shipped to your door!

A bargain before - more so now! I wish it had steel forks...

Do you have a "buy it now" price in mind?

Re:

225 gbp would be fine, plus postage, unless you want to come and get it! The forks are original to the bike I would think. I forgot to say it had a new bottom bracket last year, so all is smooth in the downstairs department.

The bike was sold today to a young Frenchman with an eye for a fine retro weld!
