Has anyone seen the listing in Charterhouses next auction?
https://charterhouse-bikes.com/product/1925-sunbeam-model-11-works-sprint-machine
The catalogue entry refers to an old works picture which the bike is supposed to be but clearly its a different frame and forks as well as a number of other items such as brake hubs etc. I can understand the bike being updated with forks, brakes and hubs but not a different frame or is the works photo a completely different bike? I am relatively new to Sunbeams but would be interesting to know if this bike is correct as I have a friend interested.
A reasonable question, indeed! Ask them directly. They should be able to answer for such a price estimate.
Thomas yes that is a reasonable response but as I have found you don't get an accurate reply from auctioneers although George Beale works for Charterhouse so he will know the details.
Well, I am relatively sure that somebody will pay something like 30.000 quid after all. Something is wrong with the item presentation and accurate information is missing? That's not my cup of tea.
