Item 220130148250 - OK, so it's probably a genuine Montjuic and it's got plenty of history but it's a resto jobbie and (reading carefully) it's not even a runner. Yet someone's paying 2 grand for *that*?

I love those bikes, having raced one many moons ago, mostly round Cadwell Park. TBH I'd pay [1][2] £2k for one, but as you suggest, it'd have to be a runner. ;) [1] If I had the disposable.

I also noticed the seller's generous viewing times, which would make me stay away on principle.

Sure - it's a Classic. If you can't afford that, maybe you should be looking at 250142746329.

Indeed - that was my first bike back after the usual late teens break from biking, and it looked *exactly* like that one - except for the dent in the tank where it toppled of the stand and fell on my dead Vauxhall Viva. Recently married, living in a rented flat, set off one Saturday morning into town, came out the other end having signed up for our first mortgage, and finance on the 18 months old 400N which became our main transport for the next few years.
