Raleigh Amazon!!!

[GT-Steve]

I nearly bought a Raleigh Amazon at a car boot on Sunday.

Not my usual type of purchase, but it had brand spanking new Tioga Psycho tyres fitted and he only wanted £15 for the whole bike... :shock: :shock:

The whole thing was in cracking condition, and the next car boot at that particular location is in June, if you're prepared to wait...

Where abouts are you Steve? Fifteen quid is very cheap if it's in good condition! Could be a nice bargain.

 

[GT-Steve]

I'm down silverstone way. I'll keep my eye out now in the hope that it comes up for sale.

What sort of size do you need? Just so I can measure it if I see it again.

 

[alans27]

Probably about 19 inch I reckon. The rider will be about 5ft 8 ish. Thanks for that mate

 

[GT-Steve]

no probs, I'll see if I can unearth it, locally... ?

Re: Is this guy on drugs????

How on earth can he think he'll get this much money for a Raleigh Amazon? The one I got brand new when I was about 14 cost less than that! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Amazo ... 3cc4267135

Thread jack - Sorry..

But these people drive me mad, wasting everyone's time with their pointless-never-gonna-sell-tw@ttery clogging up auction sites/classifieds/etc...

They add up everything they've ever spent on something and make that their asking price

Hello!? Market value? Depreciation? Grrr

Ah that's a nice one that is king of football. I'll keep an eye on that.

Does anyone know, what's the cheapest way to courier a bike in the uk? I mean say if I win one on ebay, how do I go about sorting a courier to bring it to me? It looks rather expensive from the research i've done.

I bet you never knew that the Raleigh Lizard was design icon of two decades!

 

[alans27]

Well everyone's bike has a designer! ha ha. No way is that worth one hundred quid, even if I really wanted one as a child.

I'll have a look at these courier firms though, thank you for that it could be really usefull
