Hate to say it, Digger - and hopefully it's my eyesight at fault or possibly it's because the front wheel is slightly turned - but it looks like the front fork or, I should say the steerer, is bent? I hope I'm wrong.

Re:

..i did look twice but i believe its an optical with the bars as the lower HB as you look at it is actually the far not the nearer one in the pic(the wheel is leaning slightly to the right or toward the viewer) , anyhow haven't parted with any £ and pick up tomorrow COC so will be able to check it over fully, i think the seller is legit and had it on at £250 originally...considering a used brooks can go for £50 on the bay i "feel" like its a bit of a bargain

Frame looks nice . Must be because it was made in the 1970's
