eBay and Craigslist finds

But it's worth more than £400, no?

Not in my opinion.

Pedal Pedlar are usually a bit on the expensive side, they sold the frame for £375 and surely it's worth around £200 given the conditions. The Athena stuff on e-bay seems to go for crazy prices, so the guy spent some money on it. I think it's still worth more than £400 given you're getting a in-great-condition bike and don't have to play with eBay and on here to look for components and put everything up together.

Yeah, right - to a certain extent you are paying for the labour, and a fully serviced bike. Would £600-700 be about right?

As a top price, could be. Again, this is because it's a restored bike (by someone else) on eBay and he paid £375 for the frame alone + components + wheelset + labour, so yeah.

Doesn't state wheel size or frame size, but it looks quite small so could be a 650C. Worth asking perhaps?

Here's his breakdown of his costs:

Campagnolo Athena Vintage 1” Threaded headset - 50
Bars - 30
Campy Seat pin bolt - 12
Frame - 375
IRD Defiant MKIII Freewheel - 40
Stem - 20
Wheelset 180 (Campagnolo Record Hubs laced to Campagnolo Omega wheels 700c)
Seatpost - 30
Tyres - 30
Campy NOS hoods - 20
Pedals and cages, straps - 45
Concor San Marco black saddle - 70
Campagnolo Athena C Record Gropupset - around 300

Which sums up to £1200

I'm not disputing there's a profit margin here, or whether that's excessive, reasonable or otherwise - I'm just trying to establish some sort of bass value. Schnitter says it ain't worth any more than £400, and I think that's just nonsense.

I think £400 is way too low for that one too and £1600 is also too high.
Well for me even £1200 is :)

But I can't assess it's right price, simply don't have the knowledge.

Nice Holdsworth La Quelda on Gumtree. Seller said the bike was bought by his father for his mother back in the 1948 so that she could ride with him with the local club.

I was thinking of getting it. You can still see the original box linings on it.
But can't afford another project :(

The La Quelda frames were made from a special tubing Holdsworth and Reynolds worked together on. They were made of 531 if the customer would require it. This one has a sticker which seems to say Reynolds 531, but the seller says 501 in the ad.

Also on Gumtree this restored Holdsworth Monsoon for 120 quids:

^^ that seatpost looks possibly properly stuck

Could be. I asked and haven't got a response for that. But also asked for pictures of the fork crown and when I'll get it I'll ask again. If it's not stuck, it is a good deal for a nice frame.
But you'd need to find a seatpost clip for that seatpost pin.

UPDATE: he replied and seatpin is not stuck (sent a picture without pin in)
Issue is finding the seat pin clamp!

just wtf
