A very early Raleigh Rapide with the oval emblem on the front.
The bike has been converted into single speed and the looks are quite unique.
The frame has surface rust but no dents or cracks or anything major.
I'm getting rid of the bike with pain in my heart but it just gathers dust as I hardly ever ride it. Too many other bikes.
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 >

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

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

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Price: I'm not sure what this bike is worth so it would be nice to get some advice on that as well.
I live in London E5 so collection would be easiest.
Any questions, please ask.
