Re: 1981 Pennine Italia 24" - All original - SOLD

£125 collected. In Southampton.
Will post, last time I posted a bike it was just over £30 parcelforce.


Need to make room in my collection, and this original paint 24" Pennine Italia is just too big for my little legs so up for grabs. Came to me from the original owner, and I don't think it's been messed with from it's original specification. All I've changed is the tyres, and it now sports new black rubber with under 200 miles on them. (These photos show the old rubber)

I've been on a few rides on it, rides well, but I can't get the gears to work properly. Changes up the gears fine, but going down them is a bugger. (I prefer proper vintage bikes, this is way to modern for me with a derailleur! I don't know how to set up or adjust properly. I can strip and repair a Sturmey three speed but not adjust derailleurs ... :roll: )

Believed to be 1981, with 1979 dated Weinmann 500 brakes, Weinmann 27x1 1/4 rims, SR stem and handlebars, Brooks B5N saddle.

More photos here. Any questions please ask.

Looked on ebay and think £180 is optimistic ... How does £140 sound for this lovely Bradford hand built frame?

Re:

Last price drop before I try my luck on fleabay ... Now £125 for a handbuilt UK bicycle!
