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.

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.

A reasonable question, indeed! Ask them directly. They should be able to answer for such a price estimate.

Has anyone seen the listing in Charterhouses next auction?

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.
