For Sale: Barry Hoban

Full spec. on request, but this is a Barry Hoban 'Champion du Monde' from about 1960, has 59/60cm seat tube, 12 gears. The rack, box and front mudguard are not included, but have been pictured to show what you can do with it. This bike has carried everything from a 24 crate of beer to my weekly shopping, comfortably and quickly. A perfect touring bike or beater for the larger gentleman. Some rust, as expected for a bike of this age, caused by the previous owner (been kept in the shed all the time I've had it). £100
The price reflects the time and general ball-ache I had to put in to unseize the bottom bracket, get out a stuck seatpost, adapt a chainring to replace the outer as it is an odd size BCD and have some equally unique sized chainring bolts made by an engineering company. As well as a general overhaul of the brakes, gears and hubs
