Raleigh Apex pub bike

Anyone have one lurking in the shed? Need to re-live my yoof!

Preferably 19” but certainly no smaller!

Not looking for a shed queen, just something rough but useable

I will have a Raleigh Dune Dancer frame and forks available soon, I'm awaiting a new frame to take it's place.

Think it's 21" but I can measure up is you are interested.

The Dune Dancer is from 1991 and of Reynolds 501 All Terrain with similar geometry to the Apex

Re:

Thanks for the offer, but I’m only really after an Apex

Appreciate I may have a bit of a wait, but not in a massive hurry

Cheers

I get you and good luck with the search, they do come up from time to time.

Re:

Thanks Bolt, I’ve seen that one but I’m pretty sure that’s a 17” so will be too small for me

One was listed on eBay a few days ago too but that’s also a 17”, so no good either!

Annoying as they’re both cheap as chips - I would snap both up if bigger to build one ‘mega - Apex’

Re:

Oh god look at this beaut - it’s perfect in about as new a condition as I’ll find

Only problem is it’s to far for me to get it being in Washington. Ballache I know but is it anywhere near anyone up that way who could pick it up and box it for me to arrange a courier?

Big ask for an old Raleigh I appreciate and I need to agree a price yet with the buyer

TIA

Re:

That's in remarkable condition

Re:

Isn’t it just! I’ve agreed a very reasonable price with him just trying to work shipping out!

Put a specific help wanted thread in retro chat and make sure it says 'Collection help from Washington' in the title and someone should sort it.
