As soon as I saw his bobble hat through the window I wondered what he'd brought over....

They were never anything special on these bikes - I'll put something suitable together.
 
That looks like one of the smaller sizes they made in that model :twisted: :roll:

I've never seen a small one!! They're all huge.

I had a small ovalised tubing version back in 1990 as my first 'proper' road bike with 6spd Sachs chromed close ratio cassette and cut down drops, it must have been only a 21".

Mine has been in a garage rafters for about 20 years unused.

These are fetching good prices now:

you are like the local cat sanctuary for cats now...people bring their unloved bikes and you give them a roof over their heads and kindness to bring and end to their suffering.

It's a calling...

Instant moneymaking tip....Turn it into a fixed, place an ad on ebay with the words fixie and pista in the title and some dopey hipster will give you half the value of your house for it
 
I think of him more as a Bagpuss, aided by the Mice on the Mouseorgan...........

From the Land Of Giants.... huge.......

I have had smaller versions of this and other Raleigh sports bikes including the ovalised tubing bikes, there were many down the tip in the mid 1990's. :LOL:

Looks like this one has survived longer than most, yeah stick it on ebbay and let some one else have a play :) you don't need it .. unless you are 8 foot tall that is............
