These o/s steel framed - a mix of cromo & hi-ten - Giant touring bikes from around the turn of the century, are not fashionable or recognised, but (imho) very underrated: someone will get a fantastic handling bicycle that will carry four panniers in comfort.

That's "interesting" and seemingly a bargain; however the aesthetics of that low-slung top tube really do my swede. Ironic really as I suspect it's that way to accommodate those with longer legs / shorter reach (as I have).

Shame as were it a bit less wonky on the eye I'd be sorely tempted!

All I know is I like it just a shame about the distance

That's unfortunate - have you actually stuffed it in a map to see how far it actually is? Depending on where you are in northants it shouldn't be an enormous distance.. but then I guess it's all subjective!

It's about an hour and half each way.

Gash; that would probably be around my limit too.

I think Mr. Frog is potentially pretty close; although I doubt the bike will fit in a Jiffy bag if you want him to get it to you!

No I know he is looking for a decent machine and thought it might be suitable.

Looks like a steal; again with STIs (although could be 7sp)
