Thanks, @Roaring_Scott, and thanks @midlife for the historic remark, it's so interesting knowing where these machines come from.
I tried to take photos of the lugs yesterday but I did a terrible job. I'll try again later today, in the meantime here's a photo of the head badge.

Found this little bit of history about the frame which someone may find interesting. Looks like it won the Tour the France back in the 80s: https://retro.raleigh.co.uk/bikes/raleigh-t-i-team/

Selling my two D-Locks:
- Kryptonite kryptolock: not heavily used, mostly always used to lock indoors, shows no signs of rust and the key turns freely and we'll. Includes all spare keys and the cable extension for the front wheel. £13
- Elops (Decathlon) d-lock: Barely used. It lived in my office's car park for a year, where I left it to lock up my bike when I rode in once a week so I didn't have to carry it on the bike. It has never been locked outside, and it is almost like new. Includes all spare keys too. £10
Collection from E2, or I can meet you somewhere in London convenient for you.

I have to part ways with my pub bike as I'm moving abroad. It rides so nicely that I was looking into shipping it with me, but I can't justify the cost when I'm already shipping two other bikes.
Rides very fast on the drops (compared to my gravel bike anyway) and it is very light so it flies. On the hoods, it's much more relaxed and comfortable enough to take to do my weekly shopping with me. Beautiful red colour with some minor scratches.
Only minor thing to note is that, under heavy power, the bottom bracket creaks a bit. Never caused me any problems and the pedals turn very nicely so I've never bothered looking into it.
I originally bough from someone else here. It came with a wheel with a cassette but no derailleur, broken brake pads, and the chain snapped shortly after starting riding it (all of this I was warned about, no scams!). I took it as a project and converted it to single speed with a new KMC single-speed chain, new brake pads, and an Alexrims+Mavic hub rear wheel, fitted with a single speed cog adapter for cassette hubs. Now it just rides and stops as it should do.
Comes with white condor bar tape, a Bontrager stem and Weinmann center pull brakes. Both tyres are well used, and I have an almost new pair at home you are welcome to have.
I believe it's a 56cm. I am 181 cm (about 6ft) and it fits me like a glove. There's space to lower or bring up the saddle by a few cm and I have a short body, so it would certainly fit someone shorter, as well as someone taller.
Looking for £150

A large and spacious tent, excellent for backpacking and can also be used for bikepacking if splitting the weight between people. Can very comfortably fit 2 people and bags, or 3 people with bags in the porch. If feeling like a prince, you can use it as a countryside palace for one person - as I have always done. Unfortunately I'm moving abroad so it needs a new owner.
The colour makes it very discreet, making it ideal for wild camping (see photo, mine is the one on the right).
It's in good condition and it is very waterproof, even in heavy downpours. It had a pinhole size hole from a flying hot ash, which I have since patched.
Looking for £40 (RRP £170)

Selling my Alpkit Elan hooped bivvy, which I used a grand total of one single time. Almost as new condition.
It's light, tiny when packed, and thanks to the little poles it's cozy and comfortable for sleeping, so it makes for an excellent bikepacking tent.
I've had it for a year, used it once in the summer, and have since been sharing tents with people, so I have not had an opportunity to use it again. If I was to solo travel again, it would hands down be my first choice. Alas, I'm moving abroad so it needs a new home.
Looking for £40 (RRP £99), collection from E2 or I can drop off at a convenient point for you within London.

Hi @user159037, I'm based in E2 near Hoxton, although I'm happy to cycle nearer to you. There's someone coming to see the bike on Tuesday, if that doesn't work out you're welcome to have a look at the bike.

Selling my Triban RC120 disc, size Large, as I'm moving abroad.
It was serviced less than 500km ago, and it got new shimano gear cables, a new KMC chain, and new organic Aztec brake pads at the front.
Some superficial scuffs from normal use, never dropped it or crashed it. It works great.
Comes with:
- Schwalbe Marathon Plus in 32c (tubeless compatible) with less than 500 km - see photos
- SKS bluemels stingray mudguards in black. I never trimmed the stays - they've never bothered me that way, but you can take and keep my saw if you'd like to do it yourself
- Fizik Arione donna saddle (pictured), or the original triban saddle, or both
- The bottle cages
- A Condor mounting adapter (this one) for a pannier rack, as I wore one of the top mounting points. Works like a charm
The bar tape has a tear at the bottom (see photo), although it seems to have stayed well glued. If you'd like, you can have my new replacement Bontrager bar tape in black for 5 quid.
Pictured with flat pedals, and you can take a pair of M520 SPD pedals in good nick for an extra 10 quid.
Price: £200
Cadence and speed sensors in photos not included.

Saying good by the my smart trainer as I'm moving abroad. Perfect for a grim day like today!
Great turbo for indoor workouts, zwift racing, virtual pootling, and everything else you may want to throw at it.
Includes:
- All adapters for all sorts of QR and thru axles in different hub widths
- Power cord
- Very long extension cord
- Shimano hub
- Currently setup with 8 speed cassette, which you can have or I can remove if you don't want it
Some specs:
- accuracy of +/- 3
- 1500 W resistance
- 22 kg flywheel (I found it very realistic when cycling)
- measures power and cadence
- Bluetooth and ANT+
Great condition other than one scratch I made while putting the bike on (pictured). Functions perfectly!
Price: Now £190 was £200
No dibs, DM instead please
Collection from E2. I can help you taking it to yours if you're nearby, message me and we can talk about it. - All adapters for all sorts of QR and thru axles in different hub widths

I have been using the Tarpstar 1 for the last year and it's brilliant. It's like the Tarpstar 2, but the inner takes only half of the space inside the tent - you still get plenty of space to sleep, get changed and sit up, but you also have a huge porch. I initially bought it for bikepacking (for which it is brilliant), but now it's replaced my Vango tent on backpacking duties, too. I've used it in quite gnarly weather and had zero problems with it.
Would 100% recommend.

I bought these pads in a rush thinking they were Avid BB5s but they're not. In yet another rush and an overconfident move, I also binned the receipt, so now I have a pair of pads for brakes that I do not own.
Completely new and never mounted. More details here.
Free to a good home. Collection only from E2 any day, or near Liverpool Street during weekdays.

These are still available if anyone is interested. @Shazzc I'll PM you now.
Free pannier rack for disc brake bike - the eyelets protrude out for extra clearance with the brake calipers. Weighs about 1kg and is in good condition, not used a lot!
Collection only TODAY from E2 8FT
