    At the moment there are no fixed prices.
    The condition of the items varies considerably so an inspection before purchase is highly recommended !
    The items are located in Northampton. As yet I don't know when the 'open day will be - but probably within the next 2 - 4 weeks.
    There are many more small items which have not been photographed.
    I'm afraid my knowledge of vintage stuff is zilch !
    I should be able to get access to the collection in the next week or so & will try to answer any questions then A little bit of patience will be required on this one ... I will do my best !

    Regards to all & thanks for the interest so far :-)

    I have been asked by a neighbour to help her sell off her late fathers collection of bikes & parts. He was 90 when he passed away & was cycling up to 6 months before he passed on.
    I have visited & photographed what can only be described as a life time of cycling.
    There are complete bikes, frames, cranksets, pedals etc. ... even some Chater Lea chainrings, unused & in their original wrappings. (pics 40-42)
    There are some frames with fancy lugwork & a nice looking track frame (?) (pics 23-27) as well as more everyday bikes the newest being from the 1980's. The condition ranges from restoration project to rideable.
    All are for sale. If anyone is interested please contact me & I will pass your details on.
    The lady who is selling this collection is considering having an open day so people can come & browse through the many cycling items that are there.
    Here is a link to a gallery with just some of the many items.

    I may be able to help with the 40 spoke wheels.
    A neighbour recently passed away & his daughter is disposing of his entire (well used) collection of bikes. Many are vintage machines in need of a service / restoration.
    There are 1 or 2 with 40 spoke SA hubbed rear wheels along with all sorts of spares ... even found some unused & still in their original wrapper Chater Lea chainrings!
    Let me know if you are interested & I'll put you in touch with the seller

    Hi. I am a new member to this site (but am on the CTC site as part of the admin team)
    I have been asked by a lady to help her dispose of her late fathers cycle collection.
    Amongst the parts are some used & some unused (& still in their original wrappers) Chater Lea parts.
    As soon as I can post threads on here I will put an ad in the for sale section with details.
    Regards,
    Ken.
