Hello All,
I've had this EG Bates for about 10 years ago. I tend not to ride it as it is a little small for me but it gets a lot of positive comment when I do take it out. I believe it's early 80s, its reynolds 531c with cinelli front forks. When I got it, I swapped off the original Mavic tubular rims and put on Open Sport clinchers. The whole groupset + seatpost is Campag.
I'm running short of space after a move and may have to think about selling at some point in the future, though it would pain me. This is the only vintage bike I own so I really don't know what the value of it might be and I haven't found anything comparable by this maker online. Could anyone suggest a ball park figure to give me a sense of what it might be worth? I imagine it would make a great Eroica bike for someone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If you find a fan a of the name, you might get a monkey out of it, or even more. It's very nice (bar the yellow saddle/tape)left the forum March 20230
