Did anyone notice this ended eBay auction: 130115885345 I have never seen a similar Dunelt and this auction was hard to resist. I had bid & ultimately matched the winning bid but lost to the earlier bidder.

Unlike the Raleigh roadster style examples I am familiar with, this frameset has Campy 1010 dropouts, Reynolds 531 tubing, chromed head lugs, and was clearly made for derailleur gears both front and rear. Braze-ons for downtube shifters and lower downtube cable stop/guides. Flamboyant gold paint and decals in quite nice condition. Dunelt was considered a lesser Raleigh marque, but this unusual model looked very attractive. No Idea of the age, but I would guess perhaps mid to late 1960s?

Any thoughts on this bike?
