Ralieigh Esprit bicycle. Not sure whether it's from 1970 or 1980, but it has rack, kickstand, nice Brooks CR3 saddle etc. It's 5 speed with 26 x 1 1/4 wheels. It's a nice colour and the paintwork on frame and mudguards is still reasonably bright. There looks to be enough clearance to fit different sized wheels if required. Overall, the bike works very nicely although the gears need to be properly tested. The lever is on the handlebar stem btw. The frame is medium-sized (approx 56cm), so would suit average height and above of either gender. Looking for £90.

Forgot to mention: it has a dynamo attached, which works and which might give a few more clues as to the age of the thing.

Aww, I've been looking for a nice golden frame for ages! But is another bike justified?

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

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

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