    Ernie Clements Falcon
    21” st
    22” tt
    120mm OLD
    Nerves lugs
    BB and headset are smooth
    Has all the clips and bracketery
    Have a wheelset as well somewhere if I can find it as well as some other bits and bobs
    £25

    Falcon GasPipe
    20” st
    20.5 tt
    122mm OLD
    Headset is fine
    Threads are clean
    Weinmann 600 calipers
    £10

    Wilson Of Sheffield
    23” st
    22.5 tt
    128mm OLD
    Likely 1980’s Reynolds (501 or 525 but has a nice ‘ring’ to the tubes) according to the Wilson’s who I spoke to), repainted later. Nice pearl blue but decals are vinyl overlaid.
    Small ding in top tube (as always), BB was in when i acquired it, slightly notchey but seems ok.
    Downtube braze-on’s, nice lugs, nice seat post cluster, bell-type rd cable guide so some care was taken to build it in the Wilson basement.
    Mudguard eyes so maybe make a reasonable commute bike.
    £40

    BSA
    19-anytime-between-50-and-70
    23” st
    22” tt
    120mm OLD
    Non-original chrome fork but of the same vintage.
    Headset and square-taper bb appear fine
    Chainset and chain perfectly serviceable, coaster brake wheelset (26-er, with tubes and tyres), Weinmann 810 rear / smaller front.
    Was ridden and locked-up in London for c. 4 years so a useful ignorable town bike.
    Whole lot as seen including wheelset.
    £40

    Claud Butler Tandem
    1936
    Proper lovely repaint, including the rear rack about three years ago, new decals, dry-stored ever since.
    Needs the rear BB threads chased so as the the whole lot can be finished and the cotter pins fixed.
    Has a Sturmey Archer rear hub that just need’s cabling in.
    Front hub brake is all good.
    Headset clips, seatposts, Williams chainsets, pedal sets all period.
    Lovely thing, just need to move it on as my circumstances have changed and not be able to finish it off sadly.
    Can supply all the dimensions but if it helps was setting it up for c. 5’ 10” riders - but there’s loads of flexibility.
    £250 for everything you seem (not the bike stand:)

    1950’s Something
    23” st
    22.5 tt
    118mm OLD
    Nervex lugged and bb mystery - maybe a Sunn? Who knows. No stamps on the drop outs, bb (other than the Nervex nonsense) or steerer.
    Terrible Hammeriite paint job
    Ding to the tt near the seat tube
    Oil port bb, unknown cottered bb with a Williams d/s ring and crank, unknown other side.
    No drilling’s for a head tube badge nor bottle cages, the fork has eyelets as well and will include obviously.
    Dunno.
    £30?

    Also a 700c six bolt noname hub and rim wheelset, just pay postage

  • superb thread and some great bargains too.

    Glws and with life dude

  • Indeed, post of the month. Falcon GasPipe is going to be my new alias..

  • Hang in there bud, your post improved my day. Here's a bump to say thanks. Glws

  • That Wilson is a bargain! Have a free bump and a thumbs up for the ad!

  • Thumbs up to you both

  • I'd nab that Wilson if were in your zone and not London!

    Good luck my man, absolute bargains here.

  • Someone buy his stuff
    So he can buy some better broadband

  • Sales thread of the year, surely?

  • Everyone has been very kind, nothing sold yet (I know, am amaze) so a bump and open to offers (is ok, that’s saying ‘money off’ without the botheration of chipping the price on the whole listing thing? If not, happy to do the edit, moderators)

  • Mods, you need to cut him some slack - nice thread.

  • Evening everyone
    I think I’m now going to move this on to Retrbik and see if there’s any interest there before I set it all on fire*
    Appreciate all the views and moderationPeople, do delete the thread (unless for comedy how-not-to-sell-your-shit guidance for future learnings) so as I don’t flagrantly ignore the rules
    Bless you all
    *Probably take some of it to the Reading Bicycle Kitchen and inflict it on the lovely people there
