Possibly the finest oiliest example to have ever crossed my path. I doubt if its ever traveled more than 50 miles in its life.

Its about 90% perfect. A few scratches on the grey bits of the frame on the left hand side but the white is untouched with the decals near perfect

It has 15 gears, I counted them.

It has shifters

It has brakes

It has a chainset with three rings

It has the original tyres, a bit perished but seem stable enough

The chrome has suffered a little from storage but will shine up nicely with a bit of elbow grease.

What am I asking for this finest, finest piece of Raleighs proud marketing?

£30 collected from the PE28 area.

I will not box it up so dont ask

What size is this bike.
I would be interested if big enough, also I would not be able to collect until next Thursday.
Definitely interested though.

Nice blast from the past there LGF. The '88 Raleigh Mustang was the bike I took up cycling on. My parents bought it for me(xmas, b'day, can't remember), and I thought I'd better actually use it. The rest is history, present and future.

Regards

Marge

Apologies but I won't be able to have the bike. Would like it but more pressing financials this month.

Sorry
