A great looking bike. Dicky71's comments on avoiding back issues are important - I'd also be concerned with damaging your "nether regions" with a saddle in that position - it might be worth Googling that one as there has been significant research into the subject. There are some quite alarming...

Great looking bike

Great looking bike and another one saved......

Stunning!

Looks good. Great colour.

Hi, I just wanted to put this advert out again in case there is anyone out there that might be interested in this bike. I can deliver up the A1 corridor from London up to Stamford. I shall probably put it onto eBay - as suggested. Reynolds 531 and Campagnolo 980. It needs to go to a home...

Thanks for coming back to me Chris. Again, my apologies for not getting back to you on your original post sooner.

Re: Hi, Sorry that it has taken so long to reply to the messages. I've not received any emails to say that I had received any replies / messages on this. The bike is still available. I put everything on hold when we went back into lockdown as I am shielding my wife and was not keen for...

Hi, I’m hoping that someone in Retro Bike land will be interested in the following bike. I’m selling this on behalf of my neighbour who is helping a family friend clear her garage. Her husband passed away quite suddenly in his early 80s and had been a very keen cyclist. This is a nice and...

Many thanks. I really enjoyed doing the restoration. I’m hoping to do the Retro Ronde in Belgium next year so I’m expecting to see a few more Batavus bikes there.

During my regular search for anything interesting vintage bike wise on eBay etc. I managed to find something a bit different. I'd been looking for a second vintage bike to enter the 2020 Eroica Britannia so that one of my sons could ride with me. That event was of course cancelled even before...

I’m hoping that someone in Retro Bike land will be able to help me with a valuation. My neighbour is helping a family friend clear her garage. Her husband passed away in his early 80s and was a very keen cyclist. He had this nice and original Raleigh Clubman 12 from new and made only a few...

I’ve only just spotted this post - nothing on the Britannia web page or the central Eroica one! As there seems to be no way of contacting the organisers either there has been a bit of an information vacuum (or I’m just useless at finding information on the internet). They could at least have put...

Re: Many thanks. Just the job.

Hi, I’m hoping someone out there can help me. I’m looking for some 700 x 20/23 inner tubes with a 34mm Presta valve stem. I managed to buy some in the US from a very nice vintage bike shop near Arlington Virginia but have failed to find anything less than 40mm in the UK. I’m hoping someone...

Brilliant. Many thanks for that - its really helpful. Your bike is stunning and I'm afraid I don't think I am going to get mine to quite that standard! I've really enjoyed the restoration though. Do you remember where you got the water bottles from? I've hunted everywhere for them but to no...

Many thanks Pat. The bar tape is the final part of the restoration!

Hi, I’m new to the forum and hope someone out there can help me. I’m restoring a Raleigh Criterium 12 and need some help in finding something suitable to replace the tired bar tape. Attached is an image of the bar tape and that I found on Retrobike but dated a good few years back. This would...

Re: Just in case the original post photo has gone. This is what I'm looking for -

Re: Bar Tape Hi, I'm new to the forum and currently restoring a 1988 Raleigh Criterium 12. I found this old post and was hoping someone out there could identify the bar tape that was used and also where I can buy it! It's pretty much the last item I need to find. I hope someone out there can...
