GLWTS.............if you don't sell the bike complete and are splitting I'd consider the chainset as it's mid 70's and would look nice on my mid 70's Falcon San-Remo

Q : Are you sure those brake blocks are the right way round ?

Q : Where did you get that multicolour chain ?

Are these very sought after bikes or what am I missing?

TTT

£875?

Is that an offer or are you questioning the price??

I don't mean to offend but the bike looks in no way "fully restored" - all the components are in well used condition (especially the seatpost) and of pretty basic quality.
I would say a more realistic price would be around 300 but that's just my opinion so you can ignore it.
Nice bike though.

I don't mean to burst your bubble but I have to agree with oldmuthariley with the constructive criticism, it does seem well overpriced. There looks quite a bit of paint dappling around the chain stay, Bob Jackson normally has them like a mirror. Nice frame though Shouldn't have side pull calipers :shock: Galli levers and Universal hoods :shock: Some extra links have been added to the chain?

Just my two penneth
