'85 Raleigh Maverick, 5 speed, original unrestored condition

[Ronnie_rotten]

i've got a fine example of an '85 maverick in brown and gold. as far as i know, it's completely original and basically unused for at least 10 years. just been sat in the shed. i don't know what it's worth, but any guidance or offers would be appreciated. i'll post some pictures later if there's any interest. cheers.

I may be interested pending price and pictures

ooooh! big bucks then! considering the weight of it it's probably worth 10 as scrap!

i'll get some pictures up as soon as i've walked the dogs. incidentally, the bike's in gloucestershire, gl18 1rn, should anyone be interested.

Okey dokey. Pictures of the beauty....

I am out. Purely because I have not grown and would not fit that size!!!

This was my first MTB and that one that you have looks very complete (looks like the original tyres and outer cable!).

Nice bike and good luck with the sale.

it's a bit big for me too, else i'd probably do the resto and keep it. like you say, i think everything is original, right down to to michelin tyres. and they havn't been ruined by constant skid cornering on tarmac! i've had a fairly modest offer for the bike by PM now, so if anyone else fancies a punt, PM me and i'll get back to you. cheers all.
