I thought I had a lot of bikes!

Went to see this guy in the Test valley today, having a clearout of a collection of unrestored bikes he has picked up over the years I quote,

"Massive collection of vintage bikes and frames to clear. Most are classic handmade lightweight bikes and frames, most are Reynolds 531. Come and take a look, or message for details. Prices from £0 up to around £100, open to offers. "

I will link to the ad if anyone is interested , they are some gems in there some 1950's and older many 531 frames and bikes for 70s and 80s and he is talking sensible prices.

Here are just some of them:



I picked up this Revell tourer for a very reasonable sum.

Before you ask, @widowmaker it is 60cm.

Something there to suit everyone I’d say

 

[vcballbat]

Oh no...only ten minutes down the road and that Revell looks good

 

[widowmaker]

I'm having a good week. Nothing bought yet

I'm glad you managed to bag a tourer @winjohn - I was becoming concerned you didnt have enough of em

I can't resist a 531 with cantis.

Anyway I only had a Bianchi and an M Steel left having sold the Mercian KoM and the Royal.

Its a bit like looking at whats on in the cinema and each time you look there is a new film with Pedro Pascal in it - and you think to yourself 'I'm glad Pedro Pascal has some work, I hadn't seen him in anything for so long'.

Ooooh, that does look good. I just finished a custom 531 with cantis, great bike.

Doing a bit more research on the Revell, it is a Romany which was sold via Freewheel/Madison with the frames made by Mercian and/or M Steel, so a nice piece of kit. I am looking forward to cleaning it up and riding it. I will see if I can find any frame numbers anywhere.
