A thing of beauty is a joy forever;
its loveliness increases.

My 1990 Raleigh Chiltern.

Picked this up at a police auction a couple of years ago and had it brought back to life. It's an early 70's model but not too sure exactly what make it is. A couple of bike shops suggested it was a Flying Scot due to the lugwork but another guy reckons it's not.

I posted photos of 3 of my Puchs earlier on this thread (page 2, post #34) - can't now seem to quote that post in a way that includes the photos.

Anyway, I am now selling 2 of them. Click the name for pics.

1975 Puch Touring
I bought this as a 'loaner' bike - it came back to me 6 months ago with no further 'bookings' in sight and it's just too small for me to ride myself(and surplus to requirements anyway). It's in very good working condition - cosmetically has seen better days but surprisingly little rust - nice patina to the paintwork without much fading. Only thing that needs doing is a new seatpost (somebody replaced the original with one that doesn't quite fit and it keeps slipping, even with a shim) and ideally better tyres (these are newish and hardly used but cheap with no puncture protection).

1970s(?) Puch Rugby Sport
This one's a restoration job I just haven't got time to do properly. It was found in a garage (out of sunlight) where it had sat for 13 known years (and very probably nearly 30 years from what we can piece together but that's conjecture). I was told it was from the 1950s but the headbadge makes me suspect late 1970s.

Both have internal hub gears - Sturmey Archer 3 speeds.

Asking £75 for either or £125 for both. Will post these up in the For Sale forum as well. Happy to send further photos to anyone on request by PM - or you can dig around the Facebook photo albums.
