Picture 6, is the bottom of the seat tube rotted out? There was another metallic red one for sale on ebay a while ago with a rotten bottom & I'm wondering if this is the same one with a different seller.
Yeah, noticed that. Pics are poor but there looks to be bubbling around the base of the seat tube and a chunk of paint is loose due to someone possibly probing it, to see if the rust has eaten through. Always a shame to see this. I ended up with one once

Repairable for a few hundred quid but it will never be original.
