    For Sale NOS Eddy Merckx & Various Framesets

    All very nice frames but all adverts must have a price, although you can state 'or nearest offer' or similar. It would also help if you say where you (or the frames) are and if are you able to post. Probably worth at least another photo showing the other side of the frames and any other details...

    Van Nicholas Euros Titanium 56cm Chester

    @LondonClassic Fat Birds Don't Fly, there's a name from the past. I remember the Way Out sign on the door had Man! penned on it ("Way out, man!") and, amongst ourselves, we referred to the owner as Pete Tonge* as he was a bit older than us but had a bit of a cool-dude vibe. Well over 25 years...

    Van Nicholas Euros Titanium 56cm Chester

    @vtwinvince It was a fairly-popular maker (as popular as titanium gets) in its time, early 2000s on maybe and I think was noted for solid, well-built frames (cue everyone moaning about theirs breaking..). I don't know when they faded away, haven't seen any mention of new stuff from them, don't...

    Job Lot

    @stevevw Small world that you were recently in Wick, eh? I was obviously just using it as an example of a remote place where you probably won't have loads of buyers able to come and view or collect. It, fortunately, doesn't cost anything to advertise on here and you aren't obliged to sell if...

    Job Lot

    The obvious suggestion is to list them on here. If you just want to clear things out rather than make money then state a token amount with 'open to offers'. If, as per your profile, you are still in Hertfordshire then you have more potential of someone being able to collect or meet easily than...

    Can anyone identify my Klein

    @AirHead Looks like a Gary Klein signature on the downtube that I haven't seen on other frames (not that I have seen loads), this might also be an indicator of a display frame.

    Wanted Marbles

    Graham Weigh 531

    Looking forward to seeing the photos. I was in the shop a couple of years ago and the guy who has worked there for years was showing me their historical collection upstairs. I asked about the GW-badged frames and if, as I had had also heard, Dolan made them but, from what I recall, only a few...

    M Steel Tourer in a Fetching Shade of Lilac

    Classic British tourer, in a lovely colour as you say. Silver groupset would definitely look better, the black looks quite heavy and just doesn't look right on this era of bike. Looking forward to seeing it built.

    Nice little Fondriest in excellent condition - Ipswich

    Bargain. Nice, classic frameset and a very decent groupset with a useful 3-ring chainset (how many set suffixes can you fit into a short sentence?).

    Is this a good buy for an old tourer - vintage holdsworth

    You'll get a better response if you post here 'Wanted' is really for people to ask for stuff that they need for builds etc.

    For Sale Titanium Bianchi road bike 55cm

    A nice bike and a comprehensive advert and photos, much better than some on here that don't consist of much more than 'Bike for sale', no photos and anyone interested has to ask the seller for any basic details. What a shame that bikes such as this are reduced to these prices, this would have...

    Wanted WANTED - Early Klein Adroit Fuselage

    You will need to be flexible if you are willing to accept any size at the right price; flexibility is obviously not a consideration with regard to colour. I think @Tomianson was being too subtle: rather than just writing 7 words (excluding the title) in your ad, you'll probably have more chance...
