So I'm thinking about selling the fixed and not sure what it's worth - can the hive mind please value this? I pulled the old emails up and copypasted the spec here so it includes the new prices from 2012. These suggest a tag of £500 which is obviously high as that's 7 years old now.

I bought the frame, a Viking Mileater from early 1950s in Reynolds 531, from fellow Forumenger in 2012. I had it Armortex powercoated (mint green) and built this up as fixed. I rode it a lot around London, but after moving to Edinburgh and having a kid this never gets ridden. It'd be good to give it a good home.
