A beautiful, split top tube, hub-geared, steel do-it-all machine!
This has been my partners bike and has not been ridden in ~6 months (She's become quite fond of my CdF instead!). Rather than let it sit gathering dust I'd love for it to find a loving home.
It's had a curious life, I rescued it from a well to do student who had dutifully had the front wheel and mudguards nicked whilst studying in Cambridge. I sourced a Shimano front wheel and Continental Cross King 35c tyres to make sure it was still nimble but capable of taking the canal routes all year round. The nexus 8 hub is smooth as butter and the owner will take great delight in being able to change gear at traffic lights without the wheels moving! Its all but maintenance free and gives an equivalent range of 12-38, or so I'm told. There are paint chips on the top tube and signs of use all round. Cable operated (and very effective!) disk brakes.
We've used it for pub commuting, canal days out, and we've loaded it up for long weekend touring. It's a really comfortable and capable machine with a relaxed geometry and super long wheelbase.
The pictured rack is unfortunately not included within the sale. Comes with basic pedals.
Size is medium and comfortable for heights 5'2 to 5'10 give or take the shoes you're wearing.
Logistics of deal to be discussed depending on govt advice in the following days but we're based in Littleborough.
So if you want a maintenance free, super comfortable, do anything bike, let me know!
£300 for a reasonably pacy sale as I've got my eyes on something!
