Hello all,
well I'm afraid my first retro bike has to go... it's just too small
Would fit someone say, 5'6"-5'9"

Geometry:
17" centre-top
15.5" centre-centre
22" top tube (c-c)
22" bars
120mm stem
175mm crankarms
Spec:
Reynolds K2 cromo tubes. Lugged & bonded, metallic finish.
All original except saddle & pedals which aren't supplied. Actually the bar ends might be later too.
Full Alivio groupset (brakes, shifters, mechs, hubs, the lot)
Original Maxxis viper/cobra front & rear specific tyres in great nick; the back one looks like some kid was pulling skids on tarmac though.
Condition:
Very little mechanical wear - it's not travelled far at all. It's been scraped in storage a few times though and will probably need some new decals. Cables are fine, gear shift is crisp, brake pads good. Chain has a stiff link (from the service - I usually put in a powerlink; hadn't got one to hand at the time so pushed the original back). No visible wear to the drivetrain, bit of corrosion. Good bearings all round. I think there's a really slow puncture on the front tube, maybe a dodgy valve.
Would rather it to a collector here than the 'bay.
Could swap/px for a mid '90s Raleigh, 18-19".
Ideally looking for £80 (what I paid). Is that a fair price..?
Reduced now to £70...
Reduced now to £65... :shock:
Currently located in Nottingham city centre, could also be collected from just off M1J26 (Long Eaton). Will meet if you can give a bit of beer/petrol money.
