CheapSkateSimon

Retro Newbie
Mike Mullett road cycle for sale. It's a tad too small for me and so just taking up space. Rides well and in serviceable but average condition for it's age. Really deserves some TLC as befits the work of a quality Reading frame builder. Full details as below:

Collection only, cannot post though I will deliver within appx 20 miles of Basingstoke for a serious buyer.

Price £300 - Sorry but no offers
 
Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread, but I bought this very bike back in early 2021 for £200. I rode it for four or five hundred miles, but (like you) found it a bit too small. So I dismantled it and squirrelled it away in the shed to await a refinish. Fast forward nearly two years and off it went to Mercian for a repaint in flamboyant ice blue. I've just finished rebuilding it; here's how it looks now. DSCF0169.JPG
 
Sorry to probe, but I'm intrigued..... why the investment in a premium paint job if it's too small? You're unlikely to recoup the cost if you intend to sell

True enough, but it needed doing and I felt the quality of the bike deserved a decent job. It's not so small that I can't ride it, it's just that a size up would fit me that little bit better. I long ago came to terms with the fact that I'm never going to be rich!
