Ok, so I rescued this from a friend who has not looked after it at all. Unfortunately, as you'll see from the pictures, it's not in great condition in terms of wear to the frame. There are no dents or scratches. I've relaid some decent bar tape and put on plugs, ferrules and made the brakes work again but a full restoration is not something I want to do, so I'm selling.
It's a Raleigh Randonneur, handbuilt in England, a Reynolds 531 super tourist frame around 53cm. Has Mavic wheels, Shimano deore gearing and 105 brake levers with frame mounted shifters and a Biospace triple chainset. Also has a Brooks saddle. It's not been well looked after, some rusted patches on the forks where paint has come off and a few patches on the frame. Rideable condition but needs a restoration. Still has spare spokes on one of the stays.
Given that this is a fairly rare bike, and that any buyer is likely to be restoring, I would like £250 for this. Item is in Bristol, pick up would be preferred.
Pics to follow cos I can't post links and the attachment thing isn't working!
