Bradley is pure class and what a back up from Chris Frome and Cav. Must admit i had a tear in my eye. We first got hooked on the tour after getting caught up in the race in the early eighties in the Alps purely by accident as we had little interest at that time.

Looks in very good condition with tasteful mods, nice colour too. Has been well looked after i,d say going by the photos. As you say, will be interesting to see if it sells and for how much.
