D'oh, posted this in the parts and components section by accident!

Breaks my heart to do this, my favourite bike aesthetically. However, it's not been ridden much this year, I'm short of space and there's another sprog on the way.
Late 1930s/early 1940s BSA frameset sympathetically refurbished in 2013 with all new components, however in a 1930s style. Frame, forks and headset all original, stove enamelled by Bob Jacksons in Oxford Blue.
Soma Fabrications Lauterwasser alloy handlebar.
Brooks Flyer saddle (laced).
GB single ring chainset.
SKS mudguards.
Dia Compe brakes and levers.
Velo Orange stainless bottle cages mounted on Bontrager handlebar mounts.
Rigida 36h alloy 26 x 1 3/8 rims, Formula rear BMX hub (110mm spacing) with Shimano freewheel (just replaced).
Raleigh Record tyres (1930s block pattern).
Nice pump!
Short quill stem, UN54 bb, ODI grips, MKS pedals, Hope front skewer, Shimano front hub, Sram chain.
All parts bought new in 2013. Bike has some scratches and marks as I have ridden it a fair bit, but frame is in really good condition for age and new paint job looks smart still. Frame was rust proofed internally prior to build. Fresh cables just installed.

I had great fun building this, trying to keep the 1930s aesthetic but use modern parts. Bike rides very nicely, I've done some light touring on it and commuted on it for a while, plus some nice day rides. Stable, stately and comfortable!

Putting it on for £300 collected for now - I'm in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

Please could you drop me a pm if interested? Many thanks.
Peace,
Dave.
