Lovely tandem.

It has a mix of Mafac, Shimano 600 Arabesque and Suntour VX parts. Had been dry stored for about 20 years so the oil and grease has congealed, hence the stiff rear derailleur. :)

Paid £150 for this beautiful tandem today.

Whereabouts in the Cotswolds? I spent my youth in Dursley and rode a Maverick. I've just been offered a nice white Mirage for £25 and collect tonight. 🙂

Hi all. Bought a vintage 1989 Raleigh Montage yesterday as I have always missed my childhood Maverick. It's in fantastic condition and only set me back £50. 501 tubing and XCT mech. Very pleased.

Re: Peugeot Ultima 753 Bought a vintage Peugeot racing bike for £100 recently and think that I may have underpaid. Has full Shimano 600 tri colour groupset incliding hubs and pedals. Has anodized Wolber rims with 20mm tyres.

Hi all! I have three mountain bikes for sale. I'll get some images uploaded soon. I'm located in Harlow, Essex. Looking for £60 each. I also have a small framed Raleigh Dyna Tech 400 Ti that is a little rough but recoverable that is also for sale. Any interest? Craig

Re: Team Banana Hi! That's a GREAT looking old Raleigh Banana bike! I recently rode a steel Raleigh and although it was heavy it was strong and was surprisingly quick. I now have an Aluminium/Carbon road bike and although it's half of the weight of the Raleigh, I'm only improving my 17 mile...

Re: Re: Thank you for replying James. Bikerecyclery appear not to have the needed parts and Boulderbicycle is closed for Easter (and half of the year year). I shall keep on looking..... :roll:

Hi Rod! I have Cyclone 7000 shifters already thank you. They came as braze-on shifters but can be adapted. Cost £11 posted and are almost new with stickers attached. :)

My Vitus has the grub screw lock for the seat post. :P
