Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

Hi @Sullebhain I can't believe you're struggling to sell that beauty, it might take a while for hipsters to evolve enough to recognise a great bike when they see one!
Not that there's anything wrong with a Raleigh, some of those 80s paint jobs are fantastic, but this a true classic.
There's nothing not to like about this bike, even the sun-faded bit shows character; if it were an inch bigger I'd be on the phone to a carrier like a shot!

 

[Sullebhain]

Once again I face rejection with the familiar phrase "if only it was an inch bigger."

Don't get me wrong, I love my Raleighs and feel like a kid again when I hunt a nice one down but this..........this is genuinely rare and full of character. Oh well, whoever ends up with it will have done well I think. Really beautiful.

Anyway, I think I've gone off topic.

Sorry, not much time left but...........

Is it just me or is everything going for silly money? There seemed to be a coupla weeks in January where things looked reasonable, but not now

@mikeymustard always the case but there are more newer bikes going cheap

Yes, I suppose it's possible to "stay ahead of the wave" and buy (cough, slightly) newer bikes which are about to become classics.

Been watching this for weeks, poor chap's getting quite distraught! I can't believe that he can't sell his Sirocco for less than a Raleigh Gaspipe.
I suppose it's cos he's all the way in Scot Land and isn't offering carriage, but if this was 35 miles away instead of 350 I'd be all over it like a rash (even tho it's a bit small)!

I would but in my experience its hard to find one who will happily make you sandwiches without being asked, rides a bike and puts up with most of my hobbies
