Okay, so this is big on the seat tube, but not on the top tube, so is set up for me in the pictures at 6' tall..... it is very comfy with this geometry!
Its 63cm CtoC on the Seat tube
57cm CtoC on the Top tube
Carlton Corsair 1980
Reynolds 531
Normandy large flange hubs laced to Original Raleigh rims
10 speed
Completely original
27" wheels
Honestly, this machine has seen very few miles, but was kept in a garage for years and has a couple of bits of rust, on the front cable hanger, where the chrome isnt good and the rear rack, which I have cleaned off with tinfoil.
There are also some tiny flecks of surface rust coming through the beige paint on the head tube, but these will probably clean off.....I havent attempted it.
There are one or two scratches from where it was shunted about in the garage, but absolutely no dents or nasty surprises.
Ive replaced the tube in the rear, as there was a 30 year old thorn in it.
The tyres hold air, but there are signs of age to them.....I would have no qualms about riding it anywhere though.
The hoods are very dry though, and will need changing, as will the brake blocks probably, but other than that, its a bit of a timewarp and would happily take you around the world!
Pedals not included.....I need them!
Ive seen these go for ridiculous amounts on the bay, but I think that £200 collected is fair for this, considering it's condition and potential.
I'm near Stansted airport in Bishops Stortford
