Not retro at all but very peculiar

£800 with welding by Bobby Blobby?

£200 + £600 to cover the Product Liability Insurance?

It is really bad.

And, where is the £1299 'value' in a steel threaded headset, cheap bars/ stem and a crappy SS wheelset?

Hmmm..EC1V 4PW Clerkenwell.
£1299's just a few hours work.

I reckon it's actually illegal (or at least a civil offence) to sell that under:

BS6102, which requires "Every new bicycle to come with:
-Any hand-operated brakes arranged left-hand rear, right-hand front
-A bell
-White or yellow reflectors on both sides of each wheel or tyre
-A white wide-angle front reflector, or a front lamp
-A red wide-angle rear reflector
-Yellow reflectors front and rear on each pedal[/quote]

And the Road Traffic Act 1983, (Statutory Instrument 1983 No. 1176):
that requires "two efficient braking systems, by which the front wheel (or wheels) can be braked independently of the rear wheel (or wheels)."

Not to mention the newish EN 14764 City and Trekking Bicycles and EN 14781 Road Racing Bicycles requirements...

All the best,
