Weird, I just bought a 705RS for £30. Seems to be all original & in great shape. I only wanted it for parts, as I'm building a marin for my works, in our colours. Be a shame to pull it apart but needs must....
That definitely looks a lot like the Ridgeback Cooler King I have! Also had mine 20+ years. I bought mine for about £400 new. It still gets used, though not as much as some of my other bikes. The last big ride it did was the Kennet & Avon canal, about 80 miles in total on the tow path.
Hi , yes I paid around the same , not really into bikes in a big way , but thought I would do some research about this bike because they are a bit different, probably going to sell as I don’t really use it
