Original condition bikes

Seeing Joes fantastic Merlin and all the excitement it caused made me wonder is it possible to find bikes in original unrestored condition,and would they be worth more money than a restored bike,a client told me about this bike the Guy used it once fell off and never rode it again and it has been in his loft ever since I know it's not a Merlin Charlton or that type but I think it looks amazing.
I quite fancy it but have no idea how much it may be worth.
Sorry for all the pics

That bike rocks

worth a fair bit I would wager, KC.

tell us how much he is asking for it and we will tell you if you should give him more or offer him less.

according to the sheldon link $200-$300.

I think it's worth more than that i think I may offer him 300

how much as he asked you for?

He said to make him an offer he is not all that fussed if he sells it or not,I just want to offer a fair price,i know if all that group was on a BJ or merlin it would be a whole lot more,t may be worth buying to transfer everything to a nice English frame.

well then give him 400 pounds and his partner a small bouquet of flowers and have a clear conscience.

next.

sorry if i missed something.

It's mint!
