@LondonClassic Frame initials is OP and down tube decal says Oscar Pavis.

Yes, without this becoming overly political, the only good thing that Trump is doing is potentially pushing UK back towards Europe, but that's not his intention!

Nobody has mentioned 'Brexit', but I used to find my main market for bike sales and purchases was with fellow Europeans. The import duties have killed it both ways...

Unfortunately eBay is very slow for bicycle sales too. UK Traffic to eBay.co.uk is down 21% Jan 2025 vs Jan 2022. Squeeze on disposable income for some, but more the negative outlook is impacting big ticket purchasing: Gfk published data states that UK consumer confidence fell -5 points this...
