Original post now deleted as I hadn’t realised what the selling rules were

Oh really? I am very sorry - I wasn’t aware of that.
Please could moderater remove this post then please as I do not want to upset anyone. If it doesn’t sell on eBay I will post back up on here
Apologies -
Thank you - it looks even better in “the flesh”!
I bought the frameset new from Prestige Cycles in Hove as they were closing down. It was built by Mark Reilly of Reilly Cycleworks and ex-Enigma.https://www.reillycycleworks.com/
(An unpainted frameset alone from Reilly, currently sells for £1899, so mine is a complete bargain!)
It was then custom painted by Fat Creations with painted logos (not stickers) at a cost of £600 and used as a show piece in the shop window. It is epic, but I have too many bikes and need to let some go, sadly. I also have my Roberts fixie/SS for sale too.

Original spacing - fitted spacers on the axle

Cheers - thanks for your comments
Hiwever, I would suggest it’s a dedicated single speed. -
I’ll admit to being a bit naive when I got it all those years ago and regret not building it up with original parts
-
The original paint was knackered-chipped and rusty. Painting a frame enhances its value! It’s been done professionally- not at the back of the garage with a rattle can!!
A purist wouldn’t be interested I suspect, but I’ll await offers. I would rather keep it than let it go for £200!! -
Yep absolutely! I put it on eBay late last night to take advantage of my free listings options and put a “silly buy it now” price on it. I edited the price this morning to what I feel is a realistic price to the right person. I might get the £1000 I’d like but have “make an offer” option selected for those that want to negotiate
-
It was originally built up to be fixed and I wanted a clean look. I subsequently changed my mind, regretting it, and is now single speed freewheel with front and rear brakes
-
Selling my Robert’s but don’t know how much it’s worth. I’ve owned it 20 years+ was stripped and repainted by Pearson Bikes of Sutton about 10 years ago. I think it was built mid/late 1980’s??It’s in excellent condition. Converted to single speed with flip flop hub, Formula wheels, Sugino crankset, Miche/Dia Comp brakes and Velo Orange finishing kit. All cable stops and hanger removed when painted. It’s painted in a (Fiat) metallic orange. I believe it’s Columbus SL/SLX mix.
Much appreciated

Tom Crowther Mercian on ebay, that I just bought! I kept quiet so you fuckers wouldnt bid against me! I havent seen it in the flesh but its gotta be worth £100.
There's a Mercian track frame on ebay too with a BIN price of £800 ! He'll be keeping that then.

I just bought a Tom Crowther on the bay circa 1960 with new paint and transfers, £100 !
I reckon its a steal - any opinions ?
