Vintage 3-speed Raleigh bike. The frame reference on seat hub suggests early 1950s, whilst the Sturmey Archer hub is dated 1963. It's old, but in good working order and somewhere along the way it has acquired a decent blue paintjob. The only minor issues are with the front brake - which could be sharper - and the gears - which are working, but not quite perfect (as usual). Size-wise, it's quite solid and would probably suit a rider of average height and above. It comes with the original wide Brooks saddle. Looks nice. Rides fine. £75

Frame size?

Approx 56cm in modern terms - notwithstanding vintage dimensions being a bit tricky - but as I implied, it probably wouldn't suit the more petite rider.

Ahh, OK. Not for me then. 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:
![](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.
