The time has come to sell my beautiful Raleigh Royal Tourer. I've only had it for a year and loved every mile. It's in excellent condition considering its age (early 90s). Since buying I've upgraded the seatpost and saddle and replaced the rear wheel, and also had the headset bearings replaced 6 months ago. Full specs:
Raleigh Royal Tourer 58cm
Mix groupset featuring Shimano Deore LX, Dia-Compe, Weinmann, Altus.
Triple front crankset
8 speed rear cassette
Stem mounted friction shifters
Selle Italia Storica leather saddle
Jim Blackburn mudguards and rear rack (front mudguard will be refitted for sale)
Continental City Contact tyres
Will come with brand new bartape - Brown Leather - didn't get round to fitting
Flat pedalsThis is the perfect bike for riding round town or taking for further jaunts outside of London. It's supremely comfortable, more practical than it looks at first glance and a true pleasure to ride. I'm sad to see it go, but moving to a smaller flat means needs must.
£415 - pickup from N5 or I can meet at any central London train station

I'm selling my Cannondale CAAD12, Team CNCPT colourway. I've owned the bike for 2.5 years, it's been used for ~8,000kms. The bike is in great condition, everything works brilliantly. There are a few cosmetic scratches on the frame I've captured in the pics, mainly from cable rub on the headtube and chain slap on the chain stay.
The bike itself it a fantastic all rounder, stiff enough to feel racey, and it's currently set up to feel comfortable for longer rides with the spacers / handlebar combo. Goes without saying it's always been kept inside, serviced and looked after regularly and ridden in the summer, so mostly dry.
