at the risk of incurring the ire of the diehards, I would venture that people were more easily pleased in those days ( being of that age myself)

More bells and whistles than you'd find in a bell & whistle store.

At first glance, quite nice. Not original paint sadly. I had one of this era and it rode surprisingly well.

I thought it looked incredibly original, unusually shiny but rather than squint away I thought I'd pass it straight to the desk of an expert

Got to dash out to get a raleigh

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Another Raleigh?

Another Raleigh?

I find I can never have too many
Jo disagrees

How can you tell this one is repainted?

What do we think it will go for?

Talking of Raleighs, any ideas of how old this Royal is? 27" wheels, 64cm frame! But only 58 top tube so actually it fits me pretty well.

1983
Wrong decals, poor finish.

Cheap if you're local.
