The frame is a 21" Raleigh Sillouette from the mid- to late-80s.

It originally had a five speed derailleur; about two years ago I had new 700C wheels hand built by these guys and a new Sturmey Archer XRF5 hub fitted. I also got the bars flipped and wrapped, and new brake levers fitted. The frame, brakes, cranks, crankset are original and in good shape, the saddle is ridable but really needs replacing and the bar tape is damaged in one place.

Used lightly - was my gf's reserve bike.

Looking for £150 ONO

Slack chain, my dear.

Heh, thanks. Had to loosen the back wheel to take of some reelights and took these pics in a hurry - rest assured the chain is now perfectly taught.

I am interested. In which state is the saddle?
Where are you in London?

Is this still available? if so, i'm 5'4", do you think it would be too big for me? and would you courier the bike? thanks

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
