I've got the same bike, same size, same condition and am impressed with it. I like your touch with the ring guard on your chainset - not an easy item to find these days and it looks good too. Mine had very low miles but the UG chain was certainly elongated - strange. The rims are lovely and the metallic grey over black has all sorts of colour flecks in it when you look close up. Mine rides really well now and I'm a fan of Biopace, although the HP version is my preference. 27.2 seat post so a proper 531 main triangle. To my mind it's a £250+ bike in that condition even in this rotten market - I wouldn't want to sell mine for less and its rarer than a Royal. Decent M450 hubs, 105 levers and alloy mudguards that really shine when you T cut them...

Thank you
I may polish it and put some nicer looking brakes on it then

Space limitations mean I have to sell mine. I have put it on Ebay today with good phots and a hard sell. Let's see what this lousy market thinks about it in late summer. It may be a struggle to sell in what seems like a shrinking market, but I have a good selling history for the money I think things are worth and have rarely had to climb down much at all. That said, I have not sold a tourer for quite a while. Whilst it is a clearly a buyers market, the amount of good stuff out there is thinning out it seems to me - perhaps people are holding on? Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Is postage in the UK available on this ?
And are the wheels 700c or 27" ?

Just need to sell my modern Giant to free up some cash
Dont confuse mine with the one for sale on this thread which is cracking value at £170. I just think mine, which may? have had a bit more polishing and the like, will fetch more on Ebay..
