No reserve by the looks of it. One of the nicest I think I have seen for a while.

If that's the same one, it only made £1320 before (looking up the thread that had the info in). That seems really cheap looking at the condition of it - you should have bid last time!
Always a bit concerned when someone sells on so quickly though.
I've always had a soft spot for the 650 as well though, might have to look away too, though I do have the money from the 1100 sale...!

That is one beautiful bike.

I've made some enquiries with the seller. He did buy it earlier in the year so must be the same one. I can't remember what it looked like when on before, but if it looks like it does now, then the previous £1320 seems pretty cheap. I think it's going to be a lot higher this time, it's at £790 already (seems to be an early bidding war and went to £1000 but looks like that person withdraw their bid). I won't be surprised it that hit near £2-£2.5k this time which isn't a bad little earner. I might bid if the bidding stalls a bit, but have to factor it getting it picked up and delivered as too far from me.

Anybody buy it? Personally I think it was a steal at that price.

I only just went on as I had forgotten about it in all the heat of the day! Went for more than I would have paid if I had remembered, but for someone, yes that does look very nice for that money.
I think went it sold in March it only got to £1320, so even more of a steal then!

Lovely example , but glad I didn't get involved ...£ couple hundred over what I reckon

The timing couldn't have been more wrong for me....I just spent 2.5k on a new fishing pole

You can spend £2,500 on a fishing pole? It must be something to behold. I'm imagining the girth or length (or both) is quite spectacular.
