I have a Reynolds 853 'Sirius' frame going if you like [ I think its an old 22"] the paint is good with only one small rub on the top tube.
I was going to put it on ebay, and expect over £100, you can have it for £70 [as you a decent chap!].
It comes with a new square taper BB, an old headset with a quill to Ahead adaptor [so you can use a new style stem] the headset is in great condition.
It's probably too good for a turbo but what the heck, it's only sitting in my garage.
If your interested let me know.

OK, having looked at all products mentioned and the preferance to have a VR, i think i have narrowed it down to the following

http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/tacx-tacx-trainers-rollers-tacx-i-vortex-t2160-vr-trainer-with-tts-4-advanced-ant-stick/tacxtrai850000000000 Circa £600-700
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/elite-elite-trainers-rollers-elite-realaxiom-ct-conconi-internet-inc-2-courses/elittrai680000000000 - Circa £800 -900

For those in the know, is the Elite £300 better than the tacx? Is there really any benefit for a novice live me??

Jim, I have a top of the range tack still in its box, brand new. I never got round to setting it up. Make me a sensible offer and it's yours. It was £1100 about 10 months ago. It's the Genius Multiplayer VR Trainer.

How the other half live ...... a £1100 toy still in the box because you couldn't be bothered to set it up. I bet you've got an old Bentley in the swimming pool as well hey!! 😆

That does sound far too good - if I were you I'd stick it on eBay. The market is ripe for the picking!
