For Sale: Raleigh Caprice Liz Pepperell edition

Something a little different. I picked this up a while back as a project for my gf that never happened.

I think that it's in really good condition for it's age, with lots of shiny chrome, and only minimal patina on the wheels/mudguards. It has a brand new, comfy saddle. The frame is near perfect, apart from a few small marks, and a missing pump braze on (pictured). It could probably benefit from a good wipe down as it has been collecting dust (please see close up of the rim to show what lies beneath the dust!) Sturmey rear 3x hub is very nice condition.

The sharp ones amongst you will notice that there are no brakes and the Sturmey cable is missing. This is because I took the whole thing apart and then managed to lose them. To be honest, I had visions of getting rid of the Sturmey and making it fixed/single. I actually have the Sturmey cable. Because the brakes are missing, the pannier rack/mudguards are missing.

So, to get this working, you would just need 2 x calipers and some cables which should be a sub £20 job if you shop about a bit.

I need to get rid of this asap, hence the low price. I will be in London (Clapton but have car) this weekend, and ideally need it gone then. If the brakes are an issue to you, I have found a place locally that has some, and can fix it all tomorrow night for an extra £20 if somebody is interested.

I think that this is a very good price, I have seen shabbier ones go for £120 - £160

£90 as it is/£110 with new calipers/cables

Prepared to take offers on this as really really need to get rid this weekend. Somebody could even make a profit if they fix and flog on through ebay!

I'm guessing you wouldnt be prepared to post? what's the size?

Where are you based?

What's the minimum seat height from the ground, looking for something about 32-33 inches for a short girl.

Im in Edinburgh..

From the ground to the highest part of the seat is around 32Inches, but it is a pretty thick saddle.

Centre to top of seat tube is 46cm

For those asking, afraid that I just don't have time to pack up to post, and it will cost a fortune.

really need this gone, so £60 sold as it is, for collection/meet in London this weekend. This is a bloody bargain!

checking with a friend for his wife...let's hope, it really is a bargain

If i was in London this weekend or could get there I would snap this up. I refurbed a Raleigh Cameo (very similar to this) a couple of years ago for an ex and I loved riding it as much as she still does.

Really good bikes

I'm in Nottingham now, and will be driving down if that helps anybody who lives on the M1 corridor!

Dibbbbbssss, pm'd

Second dibs
