laaavly, too small though

might want to put sizing on there!
looking at the head tube looks at least under a 52 i would say
thank god! otherwise i would be kicking myself for not having any money!
this is a serious bargain!

SB Serial Number?

I grew up near Ilkeston. It's a terrible place, but I like the fact that Raleigh had the courage to name a bike after it nevertheless. It suggests a muscular honesty about things, and harks back to a time before brand consultants and The Persuaders with Tony Curtis and Roger Moore.

The details supplied says 53cm...so i assume the owner has measured it...won't hurt to get him to confirm it.

SB Serial Number?

I will find out and post....BTW why didn't you reply to all my PMs about the Duegi wooden soled shoes?

Apologies, I thought I had.

Only size 45 Detto's are still available.

That's beautiful, my size too - wish I could justify a second bike :(

What justification do you need....this buying a work of art!....Preserving Britain's industrial heritage!....Life is not a rehearsal.....be a hedonist for a change.....go on...you want...you want...you want...you want...you want...Have!

I'd have to keep it on the street - only one indoor space. Very small flat. Plus no money. Plus will get killed by the other half. But the lack of parking is the real reason.
