For Sale: Raleigh Rapide

I have to get ride of my Raleigh Rapide before I move. Apparently there's just too much clutter. It's a 24 inch 531 steel tourer; the frame is in decent condition, but it's going to need some TLC before it can be used every day. I'm in Hackney if anyone wants to take a look at it. More pictures here.

I forgot to mention that the front brake is missing in the photos - it was just being cleaned up, it is included. There's also a Fuji Track saddle on it at the moment, but the old Brooks saddle it came with is included too. It's comfy, but it's seen better days. I put a whole tub of Proofide on, but it somehow failed to miraculously become new.

How much you looking for

frame size? bb to top tube, thanks.

I don't have a price in mind to be honest - just looking for offers. I've borrowed a tape measure so I'll post some exact measurements tomorrow.

let's see those measurements! x

Right, it's just under 23 inches from the centre of the head tube to the centre of the seat tube. It's just over 23 inches from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube.

A bit small for me. thanks for going to the trouble Sparky. most appreciated. D.

what's the rear dropout spacing, and are the wheels 700c or 27x1&1/4" ? Thanks.

I'd be interested in the fork, if anyone else has anything similar?

my mate is looking for just such a think but it'd have to be 700c matt...

Sparky I can't pm you cos I'm a noob but i'm keen like mustard on this ride. Did you get the email offer?

Looks like the bike is gone, guys. Got your message, cheers Guzman.
