Raleigh Rapide 1986/7

[gadget2466]

Hello everyone.
I am selling my 12 speed vintage/retro Raleigh Rapide from 1986/7

It is in original spec down to the original bar tape and original Raleigh stamped brake blocks.

I have put it back on the road to try cycling again and completed a few rides of 17-30km.
I had to replace the original tyres and inner tubes as they had perished. So it now has continental sports on.

It is an adults frame 700c wheels or 26" as we used to know them.

If anyone would like any more information please let me know. I would love around £75 for it. I can look into shipping if you prefer that to collection. I am in brackley, Northants, or have an office in Banbury oxon.

Many thanks
Gary

Re:

I'll be in touch later. With answers. But as far as shipping is concerned that will be at cost so I will investigate parcel force ups etc.

The frustrating thing for both of us is I was in Strathclyde on Friday!!

Cheers
Gary

Re:

John.

I can tell you that the stem of the handlebars and saddle are free as I had to raise them to ride it ( last time I rode it I was only 16!)

If you want to pm me your mobile number I will text or call you tomorrow when I have some prices to post it.


Thanks
Gary

Gary...................thanks for the reply

however i now see on an earlier thread you say

'' Measuring the bottom bracket to the seat post is 23.5"

much too big for me i'm afraid

so interest withdrawn

GOOD LUCK WITH THE SALE.!

Re:

No problem john.

For your and everyone else's reference I am 5'9" with 29.5" inside leg and fits me fine,

Cheers

New bike has arrived so this is now surplus to requirement.
I would consider reducing the price to £50 if that helps ignite any interest.

Thanks
