Very nice looking bike, but seems like a high asking price for a lot of rust...
I doubt the same frameset in this condition would fetch more than half the asking price in France (and I've been staring at French ebay for several weeks now).

This is, of course, the general sad state of ebay affairs in the UK. At least a 100% mark-up to bikes sold on the continent.

Agreed 100%.
