Is it a mountain bike or a tourer? Very close to me so could easy pick it up.

I'd say tourer, mine (mtb) has rear U and fillets. The lamp mount would suggest road use?

Re:

Thinking about having a dart at this, at least at this price. Not sure what it is and it looks a lot shabby but....

And are the forks right?

Re: Hatfield Alves

I bought the Hatfield Alves, I did a bit of research on the make first as it was new to me, not sure how many he produced? and decided it was worth a go. Under the grease and grime it appears to be good, it has been converted to single speed and has straight bars on a triple T stem with Chang Star levers but still has the original deer head brakes. I will be keeping it just as it is in its slightly strange format, it rides well. No one else bid on it.
