Hi, I'm selling my Raleigh Royal that I've had a couple of years, which has only done a few hundred miles with a trip to Normandy last year.

One previous owner, who owned this bike from new and has the original handbook, sales literature, tool kit, purchase receipt, and even a signed card from the builder!

23.5 inch - 60cm - I'm 5'10" with long legs - 76cm from centre of BB to top of saddle.

It currently has Campagnolo 9 speed shifters, which work well with the 6 speed block at the back, but happy to return it back to completely original if preferred. See first picture. I'd like to keep the saddle and pedals, but will put originals back on.

Beautiful bike, but just a bit overkill for what I need.

Collection only from Horsham, West Sussex, due to weight/size, but happy to meet in London at Victoria, if that's easier.

£300 (I'd just like to get back what I paid for it, thanks)

My dad had the same bike when I was growing up. When he couldn’t ride it anymore after he became ill it came my way in my teens. I whipped off the mudguards and rack and it took me everywhere for years. It was amazing to ride especially after several years on cheap mtbs. Some of my happiest memories of riding with mates for hours and hours…

It brought so much back to me seeing your pics ^_^:okay:
