Hey,

I was really excited about picking up a 16' Revolution Country from the Edinburgh Bicycle Coop next week, but apparently they won't have them in store until late June/July.

Does anyone have a similar light-weight tourer they're looking to sell? Budget is about £500 and can travel. Itching to get out on some weekend rides as I'm currently limited to a S/S or borrowing others.

Cheers

David

Sounds interesting. What year is the bike? Have you got any pics?

I have a steel claude butler dalesman- 56ish top tube. It's too long for me @ 5ft 8.

Needs to be reassembled but I can put on Tiagra 9speed STIs or bar end shifters. The parts are Deore or Tiagra. The spec's not disimilar to the Revolution; which looks a bargain!

Let me know if you are interested. It's in Walthamstow .

Hey @Peter_Carter, what gearing do you have? Just turned down a lovely Condor Fratello because it was too racy.

Ideally looking for a triple crank at front or at least a compact with 11-32.

Thanks @Mr_Bump. Looks like a decent bike but still looking around atm.

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:

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

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