For Sale: Raleigh Olympus 47cm frame and Girls Raleigh Panache

I've decided to sell all the bikes that I keep looking at in the garage yet have no intention of riding. (Brave Move).

ALL SOLD

The first is an absolutely beautiful Raleigh Olympus, it has a 47 cm frame (53 cm top tube) I bought it from someone else on the forum, and finally have to admit that it is just a touch too big for me (i'm 5ft 2"). I'm looking for what I paid for it The bike was described as

The 47cm frame (53cm top tube) is in great condition overall with some minor marks, old 26" chrome over steel wheels with stainless steel Raleigh hubs that run smoothly and rims are not too far out laterally either.

The surface rust from the rims should come off, the front is certainly better than the rear at present but I'll be doing some cleaning on it this week so will be better than the photos.

Grubby Sedis chain but will clean up fine, 5 speed rear cogs, not sure what make but made in England inscribed on them, again grubby but will clean up fine & freewheel mechanism is good & not notchy or sticking.
Lycett L'avenir leather saddle in decent order.
Huret Svelto rear mech in good order plus long lever down tube shifter all working fine. Cottered chainset is smooth running without any play & the teeth are bright & shiny with little if any wear. Brakes work & bring the bike to a stop quite well.
Tyres are cracking but stay inflated.
Blumells mudguards are very good with minor tarnishing on some of the metal work.

The second bike is a Girls Raleigh Panache with racing bars.
Size Crank to seat is 45cm
Top Tube 47 cm -
SOLD

sorry

These are both still available.

Where abouts are you in East London? I'm interested in the raleigh for my missus but would like to have a look first. I'm in Bow so hopefully not to far away! Also are you fairly open to offers on it?I have a tight budget :S

I'm very East - at the bottom of the M11 link road.

Sorry but I'm not prepared to negotatiate on the Olympus; a friend on here actually told me I'd underpriced it as it has had been serviced and had some work on it since I bought it.

Are they still available?

Can you clarify how old the Olympus is please?

Are they still available?

Yes, both are still available.

Can you clarify how old the Olympus is please?

I believe it is a 1960s Olympus. It is really beautiful and my camera doesn't do it justice.

Need to borrow a camera?

Yes please. A decent camera to take proper shots would be good. Can I borrow a photographer too?

Posible dibs! Just need to wait on Girlfriend to see if she likes it.
