Cheeky b’stards! Probably a bait and switch advert or something. The problem with these shops is that they tend to cater for the metropolitan roadie crowd and millennials who want to be ‘retro’ - and Rip people off. Sometimes they do have some very rare items which a man might be reluctantly steered into buying - I paid over the odds for a Turbo Lite saddle yesterday - they (BLB) had me by the balls as I couldn’t find that saddle anywhere else and had been looking for agesI messaged them ages ago about it, no response sadly.
After a bit of research I found the self same bike sold for £200 with a full Deore DX groupset on an online selling site so didn’t chase it up
...Guaranteed to draw gasps of astonishment and envy at the camp-site as you roll smoothly in, uncouple your Primus, and set about brewing up...They have a rather beautiful Jack Taylor touring frame in emerald green for 650...

I know that !Is a bit flowery and over the top, but the frame is a quality piece of kit. A primus is an old type of stove...
And you get to be covered in hipster tattoo ‘sleeve’ and a flat in Stoke newingtonOh but it does come with a free beard and a tweed jacket thats too small for that £450.
