I'm very much hoping that someone will want this. It's a steel-framed Raleigh Pioneer in touring guise dating I think from around the turn of the millennium. The serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket is YF98B10304.
I bought this bike five years ago in "new old" condition, but I've never really been able to make it work for me. I loved the colour and hoped that a 53cm seat tube would be OK, but it's always felt like a small 53. I have ridden it successfully (see photo) but for no more than 100 miles in total.
I do really need the space. Feel free to make an offer!
The essential details are:
Seat tube 53cm (including 2½cm above the top tube.
Head tube 10cm.
Effective top tube 56cm.
Chainrings 42/32/22
8-speed cassette 11-13-15-17-20-23-26-34
The twist-operated gear shifters might not be to everyone's taste but they work very well and could easily be replaced. The (removable) rear light integrated into the carrier is a nice touch.
At some point I have re-routed the brake cables over the stem to enable the bars to sit flatter, for which longer cables and outers will have been required. I should still have the originals which I removed - I think!
Most other relevant information should be visible in the images that follow, all taken this evening. Please ask if any extra detail is needed.
