^^^^Hmm, this'll be my opinion so don't take it as be all end all, there are certainly better informed people to ask.
The seller says he bought it for £1400 new, and you can see why it has a lot of nice components
-mavic krysium wheels
-campag veloce groupo
-brooks saddle
-gatorskin tyres
and most importantly the frame, reynolds 631 (not heard of that tubing before?) steel, built (custom i imagine) by Bob jackson
From the limited info gained from the photos, It seems in very good nick as well, probably not had too much use.
The tricky part is calculating how much it's worth, apart from the seller saying he bought it for £1400, it really depends on how much you want it and your budget for buying a new bike.
It's a very nice bike (doesn't look as lovely as i imagine it really is due to that handlebar angle, all the practical paraphenalia like mudguards/lights, and the poor photos) and IMO it's worth a good deal more than £400.
what do others think?
