Tempted by this:

That’s nice. I’ve got an Iain Dobby, do you know anything about him?

63 Van Tuyl, price is quite okay, very pretty state. Tiny dent on the fork!

do you know anything about him?

No, I don't. But I've seen several of his bikes up for sale over the years, and they've all looked great.

Also, his decals are super-cool.

The decals are sick, surprised to find basically nothing online about him

I’m suspicious of some of the rust on these. But if they’re structurally sound, then...

The rust doesn't look too bad to me. I've bought worse looking frame sets than that off ebay, although clearly I'm not a rust or engineering expert so only you can say if it's worth the risk or not to you...

You’re probably right. Most looks fine. It’s just a couple of shots of the rear BB shell (and tubes around it) on the purple frame that look a bit odd.

Edit: My potential stoker has pulled out also. So I think I'll pass on them. Shame, they're only 20 miles away down the A1!

Lewisham massive, represent:

Unless, of course, you actually are massive - in which case this would be much too small.

big joblot of 3 Bob Jackson, a woodrup and some other frames and bits for anyone able to get to Leeds and looking for some possible bargains. Dibs the black Bob Jackson with anti bosses if anyone wants to buy the lot then split.

And frames size all are 22" apart from yellow Bob Jackson which is 22"

eh?

yes, saw that. TbF they all look around 22" so I assume it's just a typo.

Sorry, another local (Bristol) Facebook listing I can’t get a shareable link for.
Borked CDF f&f for a tenner. (Forks are fine)
