For Sale: Raleigh Hack (753 Tubing)

YO!

This bike I bought off the forum 2 weeks ago.

http://www.londonfgss.com/thread16363.html

I'm reselling cause it was listed wrong. It was told in the prevoius thread that it was a 60cm, but in reality, when I got it it measured out at 65cm. Balls.

Toptube measurement -- centerline of headtube to centerline of seat tube is 59cm.

So yeah, this bitch is light as hell, made from Reynolds 753 Tubing.
It has the original 6 cogs in the back, in slightly rough shape, but it is running as a single speed free wheel, as the gear cable has been removed.
Good project or hacky pub beast for someone tall-ish.

I paid £90, so that's what I want.

Dibs go to Londoners, cuz I don't want to have to drag it and the box to the post office. :D

Feck thats huge.

Dr Sludge, I may have a buyer for you. I'll try to get in touch with them asap, he's been abroad for a while so i'm not quite sure if he's around.

no derailers and shifters..
what ya see in the photo is what ya get.

cough ;)

yes, you were right.
yes, you are always right.

nice colour, can I have the paint job if you're splitting ?

but its fixed? Freewheel free spirit?

No news from my pal yet. Think he must still be in Ghana.

Since your ruler is better than the previous sellers what do you make the top tube?

Might be inclined to hackney mission for a gander.

shame you wont post it, my long legs are abit cramped on my 60cm even with a long seatpost- go on Bristol aint that far!

Is a shame you won't post I would buy it back.

any londoners want dibs?
if not, i ship it away.

ahhh I've stumbled upon something marvellous! I am rather a tall person, and this is exactly what I'm looking for. I've tried pm'ing you to get in touch but the forum won't let me! Could you email me? jon(dot)d(dot)williams(at)gmail(dot)com.

bump any chance? pleeeease? not that I'm desperate or anything.

hi Wannabe, I am afraid the deal is done and the bike is on its way to me, I am replacing my Raleigh Record Sprint 501 frame is about 62cm, I am 6'3 and find it ok. I have some pics on my profile page, if you are interested let me know....

yes.
this is correct, the 753 is sold!
sorry for not checking in duder.

Curses! Harv4130, I am still enough of a n00b to be unable to pm, so give me an email as above - I'm certainly interested, price dependent of course... And it's a shame you're in the westcountry, a test ride is problematic!
