Those splashes of colour are similar to the "Royal-Champion" brand. Does it have Durax cranks and is there a number (underside bottom bracket)?

Thank you Errol for the information, just a three digit number on b/rkt shell but unable to identify and no stampings on crankset.

Price drop to just £150 !!!

an interesting find indeed, Norris Lockley will be able to help on identification I think....is it me or has it had a shunt at the front end? down tube looks curved

Fucking hell, Martyn Parkes is back and pretending to be a girl?

Either that or he's using his girlfriend's email address.

He's banned again. His accounts are really easy to spot, I just wasn't looking at the time.
