I do like the Raleigh , my size and nice to look at ! Seems a reasonable price to me but not sure if l would ever ride it . Would like to hear what the experts have to say about them both !

That is a nice bike, a nice price too.

The Raleigh is a bit of a bargain but if you won't ride it. Drilled chain rings make it look a bit special. 600 Arabesque group set nice. Getting more and more difficult to find in good condition.

Stronglight cranks and rings, 600 Arabesque derailleurs , Motobecane headset, Dura Ace brake callipers and CLB or if you prefer Charles Lozier Bourgoin
brake leavers! Quite a mixture and thats without starting to dissect the wheels Could be an interesting bike to ride especially since l haven't owned a Raleigh bike since l was a kid !

Another one from Revive, Witchford (witchford.revivemarketplace.com)

Ladies' mixte, single chainring, £30. It's got wraparound seat stays, which may be indicative of origin / age. Just a bit too big for me unfortunately.

P.S. I really need to teach these guys to measure for frame size...

Unusual Viscount Alamo, a model I've not seen before in Sheffield. Bit overpriced but I'm sure you could secure it for less than the asking price;

Nigel Dean Road Bike
At a local charity shop (W. Sx.). I know nothing of old bikes (or even newer ones!) so cannot provide much sensible info. I would guess it is 80's, Reynolds 531 frame, gear shifters on down tube, 10 speed, Mavic wheels. Not sure make of saddle or frame size. Frame looks to be in good nick, not sure about the rest!
I think they are asking way too much (over £200!) but apparently happy to negotiate. Maybe £125, maybe less. Comes in garish orange plastic bike box. It is currently dis-assembled for transport.
If anyone might be interested, I can go and take some pictures.

The bike box alone probably cost £200+ new . if possible pics would be great

Nigel Dean bikes are real nice. Ex Pro rider as you know. The touring bikes he made are solid but he also made some road racing gems

Not sure. It did not look too sturdy to me when open (thin, hard and bendy in places) but much sturdier when closed! Of its era I suppose.

Now, am quite happy to get pics, but are you really likely to be interested in buying? Or are we just enjoying looking at vintage bike porn?!!!

If it was nearer to me i would be interested in it for sure as already said Nigel Dean bikes are good bikes

This Reynolds 531 framed Dawes Galaxy has been relisted a couple of times, for a starting bid of £99 with no reserve I’m really surprised it hasn’t sold. Seller in West Yorks with postage available too.

It is. I've had a couple of very cheeky offers, but that's all.

I've sold 'cheap' bike for more, but not this
