Edinburgh1991
Retro Newbie
Hi, I have a 1960's/1970's BSA Golden Fifty and I am unsure as to whether it would be worth selling for someone's restoration project and if so how much it is worth. The local second hand bike shop recommended this site as a good place to find out. He says the bike is at the latest early 1970's and has no new parts fitted and so is pretty much as it came out of the factory.
I would appreciate any advice on the bike,
The specifications from what I can tell are:
Campagnolo tube shifters
Campagnolo Gran Sport rear dereilleur
Weimann Brake shifters
27 and a 1/2 inch Michelin sports tyres
BSA inscribed pedals
Lycett Swallow saddle (broken)
Raleigh headset
The bike needs a good clean, there is a sagging in the chain and it needs new brakes and a new back tyre. Apart from that I have been riding it all year (so it is has recently worked) but is becoming difficult for me to maintain.
I can post more photos if needed
