  • Feel it's time to let this go. Perfect heavy duty tourer that I've been mostly using for shopping trips. The front flat rack does a sterling job carrying awkward boxy stuff. I took it across to visit family in Wales last weekend, only a 50 mile round trip but fully laden on the way home and it didn't miss a beat. Even with MTB tyres it ate up the bike tracks. Imagine it would really shift with 26" slicks or touring tyres.

    • Raleigh Ravine frameset (Reynolds K2 tubing, super strong lugs, cosmetic marking/patches of rust on top tube but overall: bombproof)
    • Full Shimano LX groupset (Minus VGC Sora crank running 42t, 4600 BB.)
    • Deore front V brake (to allow for rack mount) you can have the LX front canti too.
    • Gamoh front rack (grinded off the basket to make a flat rack with wooden base)
    • Rear rack with Carradice panniers (grubby but loads of life left)
    • Bombproof 26" wheels (LX hubs)
    • Ti seatpost (few insertion marks - used it on another bike before this one)
    • Fizik Pave saddle
    • Nice Nickel shaded Cro-mo stem that matches the post beautifully.
    • Brand new 12-32t Shimano cassette supplied with older 13-28 still fitted in good condition.

    I really like this bike but don't really have much use for it now. It would make a perfect ratty heavy tourer, commuter or just do everything beater. It's a lot of fun to ride.

    Would like to clear £300 - it's heavy, so lets say £335 posted. Thanks. J.

    For sizing, I'm just over 6ft2 (long legs) and found this set up really comfortable.
