Claud Butler - looks like it might be a Kylami? Might be able to get it a bit cheaper - Bradford too.

Pulled the trigger on that Raleigh Strata, accepted my first offer of £40.
Thanks for all the help everyone.

It being the season and all that nostalgic bonhomie, have you got a rack? Probably got a spare in the shed. Karma.

That Raleigh looks alright, all the best with it

Nope, haven't got a rack yet, was waiting to see what bike I ended up settling on first, to see what type I needed.

Get the bike, post some pics and I’ll have a look in the shed of love.

Awesome, thanks. Should be picking it up end of next week, so I'll get the photos up then.

Got an old alloy rack. Needs tlc as the steel brackets are a bit rusty but all there. Just got back from a couple of hours in the shed. Lovely.

Here's the photos of the rear end. Doesn't have the usual eyelets for mounting on the seat stays, but it has the bridge for the rear reflector if that's something you can mount to.

Google : rubber lined p clips.

Lots on eBay.
