Resprayed Raleigh Randonneur 708

[Battersby]

Came across this, its listed poorly/incorrectly but the seller is good (bought from him). He said a while back that he is clearing an estate with a lot on mint bikes.

I got my Condor from him.

More likely Reynolds 708 (spoke holders on left stay) edit just read title properly

Yes, and no embossed seatstay cap. I did message him and let him know.

Maybe I shouldn't have let him know. It is now £150...

DOH!

I've bought from him, I wouldn't use him again.

Why so? I collected mine and he seemed OK.

I paid for "professional" bike packing at his lbs. This is what arrived. Two straps were tho only thing securing the box. The frame was dented in two places on the top tube. I got a partial refund which took an age for him to sort out.

That's frustrating. Had it happen to me a few times and there is nothing worse.

That is a pity to learn of his poor despatch as his frame listing seems to be an excellent blue re-finish; just needs a headbadge & some decals....

Gentlemen. I double checked and I was wrong, I had the wrong seller. I have deleted my posts as they are incorrect. Embarrassing, but you all needed to know. Sincere apologies to all.
