Ephgrave, value

chim100 · Oct 3, 2016

I have a classic bike with an Ephgrave frame which I am looking to sell.
It seems that there's quite a bit of interest in Ephgraves, so I am wondering what I could expect to raise from selling the bike (or frame and components seperately).
Chainset and rear wheel are not original. Plenty of top-end fittings.
I'll probably sell on a forum classified rather than eBay.

Those lugs look lovely and crisp. How long have you owned it?

Re:

Before you decide to list it for sale make sure that neither the seat post or the handle bar stem have not become seized in the frame . This can happen when a bike has stood for a long time ,especially if they have not been greased before hand . This can be an issue if the post and stem are aluminium as these appear to be .

Thanks for the tip bagpuss - you raised some very good points.
I have just checked, and am happy to report that both the seat post and the handlebar stem were greased and moved freely upon loosening the bolts.

The bike is now sold.
It is going to a warmer climate - Australia, where I'm sure it'll be a rare sight on the roads!

Re:

Very nice

what frame number was under the bottom bracket? Think my ones slightly earlier than yours, if only I had the forks to go with the frame
