Raleigh Peak / Dune Dancer

[Nether Hedge]

Hi

Im in Sheffield and have a much used Peak Id be prepared to sell

Its pretty much original as far as I remember, except it had new tyres a few years ago

The red bracket on the seat post is for a tag along and will be removed
Sorry about the reflective vandalism its been my commuter till recently

The headset and BB are shot, they work but with lots of play
I havent measured the chain but its safe to say thats had it too

Ive owned it from new and always thought Id do it up one day but thats less and less likely to happen

I cant remember the size but its probably the biggest they did
Im just over 6'

Cheers

Bit too big for me, that one - I did give it an ogle in the 'What's my XYZ worth...?' thread

 

[Nether Hedge]

Yup - its a gate and no mistake

Its probably no exaggeration to say the length of seat post showing and seat stay would be reversed on a current bike

Hi Nether Hedge

Do you still have this Peak and are you still looking to sell it? I might be interested if so.

Cheers

I think can get my hands on a Dune Dancer, I think it's a 19", not 100% sure though

Looks to be fairly original spec too

Will confirm info asap.

Dune Dancer is a 19" in good condition, looks to be almost fully original*, bar the stem which is modern

*not 100% sure of the original specs but looks period correct with canti's biopace chainset, LX rear mech...

Apologies for the pics they're from my phone

I have a DD

hi guys, i've joined this forum just cos I was googling the Dune Dancer and came across this thread!

Don't know if anyone cares or wants it, but I was going to take my DD to the tip. It's been in my shed for about 7 years unmoved - I'm 33 now, and I think I must have got it when I was about 15!

Now, it's not wholly original - at the time, we got the bits of a bloke who had upgraded his own bike, but kept certain bits of the DD.

So, from memory, my DD is original frame, pedals, seat, gear shifty bit.
We bought new wheels, handle bars and gears - the original was 21 I think, and we could only afford 18 at the time as the replacement!

The state of it at the minute, is the frame reasonably decent, the gel seat is a bit worn on the edges, the gears all work but I think the whole thing must need servicing as the chain doesnt ride very smoothly generally. (never been oiled or anything in whole of ownership!) The tyres are flat and look a bit cracked and perished.

I put it out there anyway, if anyone wants it (Leicester) then come have a look. If it's worth any pocket money, that'd be great - but as I say, I was taking it to the tip anyway.
