Abandoned Raleigh.

It is a shame to just it to rot. Bit small for you but worth saving. It's the poverty spec yoof model but would make a nice vintage bike for someone of smaller stature.
Would that D lock be reasonably easy to break?

It's a shame about that Granada , they are nice bikes . I have one . The one which was locked up looks like it was a large framed one.

A friend of mine used to work at our railway station and some bikes would get left locked up and left for months . Eventually they were sold off as nobody had claimed them .

I rescued a vandalised Raleigh Pioneer from outside my local library. It remained chained up and abandoned on the bike rack outside the library for months and one day I asked the library staff about it. I was told they they'd be delighted if I took it as they were still waiting on the council to come and take it away.

Some wheels and bits and pieces from my bits pile and my friend's daughter is still riding it to school every day a few years later.
