Rourke 953 / Roberts / Mercian / Geoffrey Butler track / Herety Tandem Etc

I’m In Abergavenny for a couple of days helping Jack Thurston sort out some bikes, frames and parts he’d like to sell to free up some space at home.
Most have been in storage for a while and will need a clean and a going over. Selling as projects, and as such, I think, fairly price.
The bike’s are strictly pick up only from Abergavenny. There’s a possibility the frames could be posted - will need to double check this. I am here all tomorrow sorting out more stuff, so can answer questions. After that, best I put you in touch with Jack. Probably best to pm me.
Might be a bit more added as we sift through.
There will obviously be a donation to the forum from sales.

Rourke stainless 953
Jack saw an imperfection in the paint on the top tube near the wrap over and so sanded back the paint. It’s inconclusive. Personally I don’t think it’s a crack - just looks like the braze to me. Though I’m not a frame builder. It’s insanely light. Come with Ambrosio hubs/rims

Top tube 58 c-c
£350

Ooof, that GB track bike is dreamy! You get the bike for free with the cranks at that price. Great bargain for someone.

PM sent - dibs on the Mercian and interested in the Rourke

Pmd ref Rourke and Roberts 👍

Thank of these are too big for me as Aber is less than 90mins away from mine but bargain prices and love Jacks books so lovely stories behind each bike I’m sure. GLWS etc.

I would contact rourke about that, looks good to me, but construction is unique and rourke are very helpful with frame owners.

PMd about the Geoffrey Butler and the Tekno.

2nd dibs on Mercian please.

Hnngggg I think I want this
Will pm
Edit
Ah, can’t, too poor right now, sorry :(

Geoffrey butler is such a bargain + 75s glws

Hey I think Id like the tandem, I will message! Thanks

PM’d re the Butler

Unlikely 3rd (?) dibs on the Butler track as I can pick this up rather than have it posted if that helps. PM sent.
