Nice usable retro £40

[coco69]

Bought this the other day but i had a call from one i made a bid on to collect today for a sale.
The bike im selling is a raleigh scorpio twelve size 23
Come complete as in pic with dynamo and original raleigh pump.
The paintwork is fine and everything works...just need a clean and quick lube and away you go.

He's in Liverpool I think

Liverpool...no sorry
land of rugby league St.helens

Thanks for the information. It looks great, but I'd be unable to collect it. I understand if you would rather it collected. If you would consider postage then I'd be interested. Looks like a nice commuter.

I could do however its best if someone viewed it....having said that its less than a price of a meal for two....its got the original raleigh gumwalls on but have plenty of tyres in the garage.

 

[GarethG]

If I could have a chat with you tomorrow, I would probably take the risk of not seeing it. I have a number of spare tyres 700c unless it's a 27 inch wheel then tyres are in Halfords and if needs be I'm sure I could get something to get me to and from work and the gym. Is the rear wheel qr or bolted on?

 

[coco69]

The front is qr and rear is bolted.....yes 700c

What i will do is i will take the mudguard off tomorrow and give it a clean then pop some more pics up.
Its probably worth more in parts

Too big for me ,but I'll lend my support on this one.
Someone will get a solid,quality Raleigh frame for pennies.
It's what they are famed for

should be , but its a shame to break a nice original one

 

[GarethG]

I think most bikes are worth more in parts than they are as a whole. If you do split that would be a shame, if you decide not to and would post it then I would have it off you.

 

[coco69]

ok I'm just going out....I will give it a quick wash after....do you want me to remove mudguard and lights so you can see it properly..you can have them aswell if needed
let me know for later

 

[GarethG]

Don't worry to much about it all, I will strip it down, clean it up and give it a tune up before the summer commutes start. Mud guards would be good, lights not so much so but if they are there then it would make a nice back up set of be seen lights.
