Wanted: Vintage Road bike/racer
 
What've you got? Sorry if it's in the wrong place mods... wasn't sure where to put it.
Got a limited budget so nothing worth loads... also must be fairly close to dorset, although i can travel if it's really worth it, thanks

Best bet is to find England's version of Craigs List (last I looked, Craigs List is not very popular there) and post a wanted to buy vintage bike ad.

eBays always got lots of great vintage English steel for "pick up only" Local bike shops are an even better resourse.

Looks like is easier to find stuff in the UK than here man.

Thanks for the replys, theres a few I'm watching on ebay at the moment, a couple of raleighs and a falcon... i'm swaying toward the falcon though if it goes cheap enough :)

I find an awful lot of bicycles each year using one or more of my Bicycle Finding Procedures.

Hope that is a help.

Try the 'preloved' website as well. There's often a few bikes at much better prices than Ebay.
