hello chaps
Im steve, 50 years old and having the old days longing feeling :D
I dont own a bike anylonger, the last time I did was in the 70's which I bought from a home shopping catalouge and paid weekly for, the exact same bike and advert as in the pic below, and was the first thing I ever paid for all by myself.
I have spent ages sticking all sorts into goole and out of the blue came across the pic below, and couldnt believe it, it was if I was looking at the same advert when I was a kid.
we have just bought our 7 year old twin daughters bikes for christmas, and we started talking about getting a bike for my self and my wife, having a look around at todays stuff, didnt really do it for me, Im not and never have been into the mountain bike look,
the only bike that has ever looked right in my eyes was my old bike,
so.....what do you think the chances are of still getting one, I dont mind a resto, as Im into classic VW's
cheers for any feedback :)

Welcome

My first proper bike, well proper to me, was a Revell tourer, I wanted the Revell Romany but could not afford one.

I'm sure the chances of getting another Raleigh BSA is possible, Enjoy your search. You could try the road section of the forum.

hello and thanks for the welcome and replies so far :D
Ive had a quick look on ebay, interesting,, even found an old NOS rear battery powered light I used to have :)
 
welcome. I've moved this to the road section as I think it's more appropriate and you may have more luck. Hope you find one.
 
I'm 51 years old and decided last year (when I was 50) to buy a bike to start peddaling again ........despite having two 1970's bikes in the garage in bits LOL.....

spent £1.3k on a Basso which is a great bike but wish I had spent £200 on a bike from my past or rebuilt my old bikes.....which I am doing now :)

Best of luck :)
