Raleigh Rhapsody - Small Woman's Bike

Posted on
  • I bought this bike from the forum a year or so ago for my mother.

    It was in decent nick when I got it, but I have serviced the brakes, sorted its rear mudguard, stopped it clanking, given it brand new tubes and tyres and a whole lotta love; it was, after all, going to transport my mother around.

    It is tiny
    Seat tube centre to centre is 49cm.
    Top tube, if there were one would be around 52cm

    Mum is 5' nothing and apart from the stepover it fitted her well.

    Once it was finished, she decided it was a tad too high on the stepover for her to be confident. She is in her seventies and tiny, so fair enough. It was too mixte in shape.

    Brakes and gears work well and it is a nice smooth ride on its new rubber

    It is not new, and you are unlikely to win races on it but it is a fabulous town bike.





    Collection/Viewing in Barnet. £100. I dare say I could ride it into the city if someone wanted it there.

  • Nice story, sorry it didn't work out. GLWTS!
