It's odd that the seller hasn't noticed that CUEVAS has no R in it. (And BTW, a marquee is a tent, a marque is a brand.)

Humber

1955 Humber Sports would probably have about the same value as a Raleigh. That is, anywhere from nothing to 3 or 400, depending on equipment and condition.

The fork itself appears straight, but the front end overall looks terribly wrong.

These were sold for use on bigger frames. If you look at the webbing of the rack, it's quite different from a real Pletscher. I think they're an Asian knockoff (though perfectly good) made for...

Dunno about the sticker, but the lug work is good and it has Campy dropouts. It can't be too bad with those features. Go check it out, it's near you.

Definitely frame damage; the top tube has an obvious bend at the usual spot. Throwing away the fork was probably reasonable.

Very cool bike and pretty light (but not CRAZY!!!!!). The $1500 frame story is ridiculous; just look at brochures from 1974 from top-end builders. Fair offering price for today, though.

It seems more like a racing bike with jerry-rigged fenders than a randonneur; no eyelets or other concessions to bad weather. Also the high shipping cost from France makes the deal not so good.

I wonder if it will sell at ANY price. I'm sure it's indeed rare, but that isn't because collectors have found all the others.

V-e-r-y nice. Why not put it together and try it out? If you don't want to keep it, it will be very easy to sell the complete bike for pretty good money and the extra parts will also do well.

To my eye, the fork appears bent back slightly at the crown; as if the bike has been in an accident. Anyone else have an opinion?

Internal gearing

I doubt you'll find one already built. Any shop that has been around should have plenty of sturmey-archer AW hubs, though, and would probably fix you up at a reasonable price.
