Wanted: Massive beater

I need an old beater for getting round the city.

I'm 6 foot 3, usually >60cm does the trick.

Would be grateful if anyone has anything lying around. Happy to pay some dollar, but not too many.

Cheers

I have a 60cm geared Raleigh pioneer that's been with us for a number of years as a visitors bike (tall family see)
Has had new basic triple chainset(42/32/22ish), new chain and bb overhauled so runs smoothly. Mudguards are tatty/bit rattly but don't interfere with anything, rack is alloy and solid.
Alloy cantis that are fantastic (probably the best cantis I've ever used) with proper M55 pads. Alesa rims are all good (spokes are galvanised steel but are fine if not somewhat tarnished) and the hubs run smooth enough with no looseness/grittiness. there's a 6 speed 13-24 shimano freewheel which spins fine.
Basic gripshift gears are ok but no great shakes
Dry stored in the garage & isn't rust riddled though has a few areas of surface that have been the same for years.
Functionally very good, pretty she isn't.
Not overly heavy for the size especially given the wide wheels/tyres (less than a std Dawes Galaxy)
I'm based Letchworth Garden City and I don't come into the smoke anymore but If you wanted it & could get to high barnet tube (as it's a relatively easy drive) I'd do it for £55
