@biggs682 @Coast and @netman - you're not trying hard enough to dissuade me

Our only issues would be we're already full on the return journey, together with working out import tax costs.

Sometimes you just have to work out the little obstacles to deliver the right result 😀

Seriously I’d be hard pressed not to come home with it.

Having organised transport for the Look above I went this morning and it's sold. Ah well.

Aah well. Somethings aren’t meant to be. Nice spot all the same.

Lovely looking Raleigh Superbe on FB muppetplace in Hyde, £175..

Also a dirt cheap, apparently serviceable later-spec Raleigh Touriste in London for £40 - if my Routier didn't have such sentimental value I'd seriously be considering an upgrade:

Decent looking Randonneur for giants in Stoke on Trent for £220..

More from Muppetplace - seems a proper mecca for old-skool bargain hunters currently - certainly at the lower end of the market:

'70s-man-about-town-tastic Raleigh Traveller, Bracknell, £25

Lady-version with a shifty hub for £20 in Oxford:

A similar if perhaps a bit tattier Esquire, Radstock, £25 - reckon that would make an excellen pub bike..

Another in Swindon for £45:

A gorgeous old-skool wafty gent's town bike in Nottingham for £85 - probably not as old as it looks mind. tbh if I had the space I'd have this in a heartbeat

Similarly a nice old Raleigh Wayfarer in Sunderland for a ton:

Raleigh Pioneer Quest, Witney, £70. Not a super-bargain, but looks like a solid workhorse for not a lot of money:

Seeing all that chrome on the older Raleighs brings back 'orrible memories of hours spent with a rag and a tube of chrome cleaner - !

(Not on FB right now, but) if @wafter doesn't want it, it's probably not worth me looking!!

Thanks for the thought - looks like someone's beaten me too it, and in any case it's probably mostly a bit old / obscure for me to make use of

I thought Dynatech were Raleigh's take on bonded frames?
