I've got two Raleigh step through bikes up for grabs...both have seen better days, but could be of use to someone...

The first is a Raleigh 'Wisp' - it is an old 5 speed with the classic twin downtube design. Mechanically, it is pretty fucked, but the frame, saddle, seatpost, stem, mudguards etc. are sound and could be the basis for a build.

The second is a more modern 'Caprice Pioneer' - also steel, it has a single large downtube with internally routed cables and a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub/ gripshift. Apart from a rusted chain and stuck cables it could be pretty easily renovated.

Both would need to be collected from SE23 and its first come first served peoples. I'll bung a picture up later.

Cheers man. After walking up the hill I decided to ride it for a bit. Scary handling but I reckon I can fix this up for her pretty easily! Hope you, wife and lil M have a nice evening!

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

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

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
