Can we buy this for RPM's daily commute... I'm still laughing / in awe at one of the weekend's track photos, and trying to identify which 1970s British TV character he resembled:
Lot: 279, guide price 250 - 350

TC Auction - Saturday 26th September Sale
Posted by
Not sure if anyone else looks at the TC-Auctions website, but they are having an auction of vintage bikes on Saturday and have just put the catalogue online. Not going to be able to make it myself, but might be good for someone after a nice bit of vintage steel.
All the estimates seem very low, I'm not sure if this is to drum up interest, or because it's quite a specialised field (I didn't go to any of their previous sales, but the estimates seem low on all the past sales).
They have a couple of nice looking vintage track bikes in this Saturday's auction:
Lot 262 Description
A circa 1957 Carlton 'Flyer' gentleman's track bicycle with 'road' front forks now fitted, 23-inch frame numbered F4294, fully chromium-plated frame retaining its original enamel, transfers and headstock badge. Fitted with tubular tyres, it possesses a 50-tooth chain wheel, Brooks 'Professional' saddle, Leotard pedals, a Campagnolo 'Record' hub with an A.V.A. rim, the front being a Normandy hub with a Mavic rim. A very light machine that performs rather well.
Estimate: £ 80 - 120
Lot 319 Description
Freddie Grubb 'Track Iron' with a 21 1/2-inch frame numbered of 8136 on the near side fork end, original enamel, riveted head badge, Airlite hubs and free-wheel fitted.
Estimate: £ 80 - 120
Sale Notes: The sale will take place at The Old Bicycle Company, Cut Elms Farm, Nr Great Dunmow, Essex.
