Repco Continental complete bike, 52cm beater [Now Sold]
Aussie step-through town bike, seat tube length is 52cm. 1980s or so, nice leisurely old gas pipe beater. Rescued from a skip and lovingly restored with mine own fair hand. Mish-mash of bits, some new, some old. Rear reflector is missing coz i accidentally threw it out a third floor window when I saw it was full of insects. Converted to single speed, you can convert it back to gears if you want, honey, it's your bike. Still has the original rim brakes, so they are a bit shit.
Newish alloy rims and Schwalbe Road Cruiser whitewall tyres. Newish shiny Sturmey archer crankset. Bling goldie-looking chain. Selle Italia Anatomic saddle that's probably the nicest thing on the bike. You should buy the bike for the saddle.
It's got a kickstand, and a Basil wicker basket for you to put your pupper or your sausages and baguettes in. I am also throwing in a very used Magnum Plus full-size shackle lock with 2 keys so it don't get nicked innit.
I've ridden it around for a bit and it's comfortable and I really like the way it looks and all that, but it is too big for me so it's a bit like handling a fucking cruise ship. Also every time I touch it or look at it I think about the insects. Enough! It has to go.
Yours for only £100, what a steal, what a deal. Pick up from Zone 4 North London.
