Had a bid on Ebay for these assorted parts but only really needed the handlebars. I was blown out of the water by a bidding war in the last few minutes. www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Lambert-Bike-Parts-/111949562904 Someone needed it a bit more than I did apparently. After going almost the entire auction at $32.50 it ended up selling for $305. Amazing price for Lambert parts that have come up every now and then for a heck of a lot cheaper. The bidder that lost the battle bought an almost complete Lambert Saturday on Ebay for over $500 including shipping, and it wasn't in the best of shape either. Someone shares our obsession it seems. |

These prices seem mad, particularly as the Lambert bits (and not all of the assorted parts were actually Lambert) could, as jdl51 says, be purchased individually for a lot less than the total, given a certain amount of patient waiting. If I did not know better I would suspect shilling (bidding up by an accomplice of a seller to promote a bidding war). On the good side my garden shed, which accommodates a gold plated Lambert bike and a lot of miscellaneous Lambert and Viscount parts, now needs contents insurance of about $8,000 :-) |

And as I think has been pointed out before , a whole bike with these components can be picked up for far less than the price of a chain set or pair of wheels.
