Some of my bikes are being sold as part of a clear-out. It'll be N-3 to N-5 minimum.
First up is the 1984 Raleigh Clubman which I bought last October. 23.5" / 60cm 531 frame. Start price £75
It's had a general clean-up, replacement brake levers and saddle, new chain, bar tape, brake cables and replacement tyres. Unfortunately it's been knocked into something whilst in my shed - not sure how but it's caused a dent in the seat tube
From talking to another club apparently it was re-built somewhere around 1990 as a time trial bike for the previous owner, which would explain the single crank, low-geared freewheel, etc. Mind you, he was tall - I'm 5' 9" and can just fit - he was 6' 4".
Following this it'll be the 1986 Raleigh Team, 1986 Benotto, probably the 2000 Raleigh SP150 MTB, the Spesh Secteur and/or the Whyte MTB (after June for this one due to Cycle-to-Work).
Blame the NHS and redundancies for the main reasons
That'll leave me with the 1990 GT Timberline, my Ridgeback Platinum and the magnesium Carrera Virago to cover everything; commuting, touring, racing plus the PBP qualifiers. Hopefully by the summer things will be better.
