Reg Harris serial number 7031 stamped on rear drop-out
Overall condition is good although there are few spots of rust here and there consistent with age
Old-school easy-to-ride road bike from one of Britain's most iconic track cyclists, good for L’Eroica and vintage or classic rides. But possibly not for very big hills with current gearing...!
Will haggle around £300.00
Would prefer that it is inspected and collected from near Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Will consider delivery if within 25 miles or so.
