Looking for around £600, which is what the bike owes me, not sure if I am far out on the pricing or not.

600? you might recoup more of your outlay better if you split for parts. whole GB bike won't make 600 on here IMO, even if it is very nice [which it is]

I have no idea how to split everything, so would rather just take a reasonable offer. It is beautiful and sometimes I think I prefer looking to riding it!!

wall hooks ftw!

SWMBO will not allow it in the house, so it resides at my parents sigh

Double pulley system so it can 'lie' flat on the ceiling; people never look up!

Lovely bike btw.

So what year is the frame?

Too nice, good luck with sale

Hi I think it was around 83-84, built by Cliff Shrub. It has A Cinelli Aero Bottom Bracket shell and Columbus drop outs.

SWMBO will not allow it in the house, so it resides at my parents sigh

You have my sympathy on that one....Do you have a secure shed to keep it in?

Got 2 other mtbs so this gets no use. And lovely as it is cash is king.

Anyone - reasonable offers?

jesus, it is lovely

It is lovely, I honestly don't know what it is worth though.

Any sensible offers?

bump

still here.

Not splitting though, as its too much hassle and I have no idea how to be honest

maybe £450? this isn't an offer btw , lovely bike though. good luck!

New Year bump, anyone offer anything around the £425 mark?

You prepared to split?

to be honest I am crap at building and splitting bikes as a friend made it for me.

So basically I would rather take a hit on the price and let the whole thing go then mess around with bits.

Make a sensible offer and I can only say no

Where was the picture taken?

Up near Liverpool, where it was built for me

Would you be able to post?
