Unique clockwork. Assessment please

[The History Man]

Well something has to go sadly so possibly this. 21" just finished.

What would the great and the good value it at? Probably frame, forks and post as it's a threadless headset.

And a number for full bike would help too. Thanks guys.

Re:

~1992 clockwork? None original paint, though looks very nice. None period decals look to small to me or not stretched enough. Could be the Hugh size mind ;-) . Frame look would be personal taste (I like the colour not the decals) and it standard nothing special tubing. So as a frame not a lot 40quid to 50quid posted perhaps.


Just looked over bike and it's mix n match so 100 to 120 assuming they're all in good condition. Basically whatever price to get the bits you wanted free selling the rest.

Might be one for the wall then. Need the space. It was an occupier that had a purpose. Thanks.

Or just use it and break up another.

With £10 tyres.

Mine are period. So maybe £920? Specially now I've changed the cranks.

The decals are period correct for a later 92 frame. Agree they look a bit off in the pics but if they're Gils then they are spot on.

Price wise, with it being a 21" the market is limited although I think Fluffy has been a bit mean. F+F with headset to the right person should see £70/80 posted I'd have thought.

Thanks. After actually riding it for a decent few miles yesterday and properly adjusting on the way around, I quite like it. Very neutral and stable, unlike some of the taller, bespoke and to be frank, mentalness of the full on British steel that I have. All with a distinct character. This is a quality 'cheese sandwich' rather than more exotic fare. I think I shall extend the metaphor and think of appropriate comestibles for all my builds.

Re:

I'd pay 70\80 for a prestige version of it.

Can I just say that cranks makes quite a difference to the look an for the better.
