Wanted: Large touring bicycle for cash or track bike trade

Hi everyone, hope your all well!

I'm the mist of exams but looking forward to an upcoming bicycle tour of New Zealand this summer. Trouble is I don't really have a suitable bike.

I'll be camping out in the wild for about a month, and considered doing it on my road bike but I'm not sure all the gear and tent is going to fit in a saddle bag and would love the versatility of a good proper tourer.

I just missed a claud butler Dalesman today on e-bay, because I couldn't get on the net.

Anything considered between 24 and 26 inches.

I've got various nice bikes I'd be willing to trade, or campagnolo bits, (c-record chain set sherif stars ect.) Or if you prefer cash then thats fine too.

Let me know what you've got. Thanks everyone.

Cheers, Will

not dawes, claude butler

hey got a dawes audax bike, think i'm ready to sell it as i don;t use as much since i've moved to london. would be looking to sell as a complete bike, its a 62cm seatube. all in working order, will take a picture tomorrow if the specs interest you?

Morning everyone!

Thanks for all the help, Chaplain, that second find looks really nice, ideally I'd be looking for something a bit larger but it does look great.

Snoops, I'd love some more details about the bike, and if you've got any pictures then all the better. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Would you be interested in money or a trade? If you'd like to trade I can try and take some pictures of some of the bikes or parts that you may be interested in. Thanks again, Will

Tour du hk, thanks for the offer, but it sounds just a bit too small. I usually ride 62cm to 65cm+ bikes. Thanks for getting in touch though.

Cheers all, Will
