L'eroica Italia: bike needed

[snappyandrew]

Hi there. first time poster
I was recommended posting on here by someone on roadcc
I ride a road bike and also get involved in the Tweed Run where I met some lovely Italian riders
Through them I have been lucky enough to get a place for L'Eroica in Tuscany in October. The only problem is that I now need to find a pre-87 steel road bike with gear levers on the down tube to ride. As I'll probably only use it for this ride I don't want to chuck money at it. (I think I said the same thing as I took up cycling and there are now 4 bikes in the garage)
Any one got any ideas on where to pick up a bike?

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Post a wanted ad up in the wanted section, or trawl through the for sale ad's on here

Failing which, eBay (!!)

What kind of budget did you have in mind?

thanks for that. I will have a trawl through as suggested.
I'm hoping for a bargain £250
