For Sale: Beater bike or conversion

Right, Bluey's got to go and cheaply:
I

I think its an early seventies Raleigh Record? Steel of some variety, lovingly hand enameled by its former Korean owner. Some erm, "vintage" parts on it:

Sachs Huret front and rear chainset
Steel Rigida Super Chromix 26 x 1/4 rims
Cottered cranks

**Plus sides: **

• Its never been nicked, even when left unlocked epic fail style outside Brixton Tube over night.
  
• Its mechanically still working, the frame's solid and the bars are the comfiest I own
  
• It once kept up with Mr Jonny English's supersonic pace up Railton Road proving its not a heavy heap of shite
  
• I've got a new pair of brakes for it, from Brixton Cycles - boxed and waiting to go on it
  

• It'll make a good polo bike.
  Down sides

• The seat post's stuck, fortunately at exactly the right height for me. You could hacksaw it out, or be about 5 foot seven with a 30 inside leg.

• There's no pedals, or saddle, but I could bung a beater set on if you wanted.
  The only reason I'm selling it is, well I've got too many bikes and the missus is getting annoyed with the shed getting a bit too full. And i've just bought her a shopper that needs to live in its place. Under the thumb? Never. Incidentally, did you know its National Shed Week this week? I'm going to give mine some love tomorrow.

Offers in the region of well, peanuts. £30 for the lot? Or a reasonable offer under that. Can split if you can be arsed to take it apart. Collection from Herne Hill / South Beers / Vauxhall / Brixton.

let me speak to her tonight......unless someone else gives you the cash first.

we were made for each other.

£30 is SOOOO steep! ;)

Pilky, I could sort out a cyclescheme for it? You'd end up paying, ooh £3 per month?

p.s.....nice wallpaper.

Very 1980s Laura Ashley isn't it? You should see the kitchen, I wear sunglasses on hungover mornings.

could i pay the monthly charges in old cans of non branded beans ?

"It once kept up with Mr Jonny English's supersonic pace up Railton Road proving its not a heavy heap of shite" - got to be worth admission fee alone ;)

I only accept Magic or Mung beans, sorry.

ETA - my home internet access is down until monday, so I won't be on here until then. My phone number's somewhere in the numbers thread.

anyone called bagsy on that yet?

I can't use the phone thought, I'm deaf.

Pie Plate!!!

i ahve a friend who'd like this is no one else wants it? pm sent

Right, sorry for the lack on contact, at the moment the grand order of dibs / bagsy is:

1. Spaghetti
   
2. Edscoble and then
   
3. xsheepx
   
   

Ruudy - its a 21 inch, so I don't think its gonna fit ya, esp. with the smaller wheels on it. But you can add yourselves to the list.

SpagBol, do you want to PM me and let me know when you're free to come and see it?

id take the frame for 30 quid.
