    I'm selling a 1990 Raleigh Dynatech 700 in purple and white, 60cm seat tube. The bike is completely original with Shimano 600 throughout, original Rigida/Shimano wheels - I even have the original tyres but they have some dry rot.

    The bike has been dry stored for some time, I would guess several decades. It looks to have had a pretty easy life before that with minimal wear on the original tyres. Unfortunately it clearly hasn't always been stored perfectly, and it has a couple of scars to show for it. It also appears to have taken some damage to one of the hoods at some point.

    I have replaced the cables, chain and tyres and the bike rides well. I have not replaced the worn bar tape as honestly I couldn't decide between white and purple, so thought I would leave it up to the buyer.

    The bike is currently located in West Berkshire but I can travel within reason. Ideally I would like £300 but could possibly be open to offers for a quick sale.

    Some not so good bits:

    Any chance you'd be willing to post it?

    All geometry numbers can be found here http://whyte.bike/2012/bike_page.php?ModNo=W-1-037-12

    ST is 570 and HT is 175

    I'm not sure about callipers, Whyte never sold them with them. There is drilling but I'm fairly sure it's for fenders. I'd suggest asking Whyte, but off my own back I'd be inclined to say no.

    I'm selling my Whyte Charing Cross frame in large. Pretty decent cyclocross, all year road or commuter frame, carbon fork, disc mounts. It's in good shape with no dents, cracks and structural problems. There is some cable rub where the head tube meets the top tube in the usual place, and a few black specs on the white paint on the lower side of the bike (I'm fairly sure it's road tar). It'll scrub off if you have the time and patience.

    I'm also including the FSA headset and original Whyte stem, saddle and seatpost. All are in ok shape although the seatpost does have a tiny bit of pitting where my seatbag wore some anodising off.

    Looking for around £175 ono. Based in Berkshire but I can ship for around £10.
