Probably pushing the definition of "vintage" but arguably interesting all the same: Raleigh R200 road bike in Witney on FB marketplace - from long after their golden era / after the rot had set in.

Boggo tigged Chromo frame with unicrown fork but from that interesting period (late '90s / early 2000s) where for a time you could get STI shifters (which are admittedly dicky on this example) on steel bikes. Looks like it needs work but honest enough and at £50 (probably with the potential to haggle) could make a good winter bike / commuter / shopper; although I'm not sure you'd have space for mudguards..

As you say a quick once over and that is good to go

Something like this would have been an ideal donor to have "reshelled" my old 2004 Giant when the frame cracked. Sadly I wasn't aware they existed at the time so got rid of the bike..

This has to be an absolute beast for track riding

Looks like a 58T front but a 17T back - so not as big as you might imagine. It'll be a 92"

Put it with a smaller rear cog and then you'd have fun

Nice tight clearances though

Could it have been made for 26" wheels? I once had a nice pair of 26" wooden rim wheels for tubular tyres - very light.

No I think 700's

Not sure if this is in the right place, but there's a Raleigh Sapphire listed on Gumtree near Oxford for £25. Listed as a kid's bike but IIRC they're a full-size shopper...?

The photo is a Schwinn Cruiser Deluxe 7 currently for sale at a bike charity called Back2bikes in Stafford. It's not an original, we're told, but manufactured maybe around 2006. Priced at £300 this will appeal to a collector. A real eye catcher but one you wouldn't ride to the pub!
I'm not the best photographer in the world (but possibly the worst) but this is in terrific condition despite bits of chrome looking a bit iffy on my photo. Ring 01785 257483 between 10am and 4pm any weekday if interested. Not my cup of tea but I'm sure there are some of you into this sort of thing 👍
