I really like the look of that!

Good to see it's a 'No reserve Auction', but instead it's got a staring price of £1,100!!! 🙄

That's not a Dandy horse. It is a modern safety bicycle. This is a dandy horse:

one of the things I love about bikes is that the 'supermodern', hitech, bestest, latest things that we ride are essentially the same as the original thing.

Valves aren't lined up with the tyre labels, brake rod isn't parallel with the headtube, and the layback seatpost seems to be on backwards. Nice looking shed though.

That wants rattled down Spooky Wood!

Gorgeous though, what fantastic condition for a 120 year old bike. Think it may need a bit of a longer stem though 🙂

I love how little the fundamental design and look of bikes has changed, even the flashiest of bling all carbon 2011 bikes have a huge amount in common with this bike.
