Is the my old Raleigh worth anything?

Is the my old Raleigh worth anything?

Yep but only to you as a winter bike or a 'go anywhere- put up with anything' steed.
Most old Raleighs are pretty 'bombproof' bikes.

Nowt wrong with Giant Escapes.
I've done many thousands of miles on mine over the the last few years.

Yes collected it today, rode it back from the shop and have to say It was a lovely ride, looking forward to many happy miles together! Though Raleigh was looking quite sad today, I think it new it was being replaced!

Raleigh still looks like it has a lot of miles left in it as a backup bicycle.
