Rare Raleigh

I think even at 6ft4 this might be too much bike for me!!

It’s been for sale for about 5 (maybe more) years now,

I’m more impressed that the person has kept listing it for sale tbf

The seller is only 5foot 6!

But, It’s a downhill racer don’t you know!

But I’m no expert

Sums the seller up nicely. Some top trolling surely?

Love the description:
“Most but not all Downhill racers have no rear suspension and have it all in the front, as far as I know, but I’m no expert”

Followed by:
“Both front and rear forks have fittings for Disc Barakes”

You can look like you are going downhill with the seatpost that high, without even moving.

Been for sale for months I think.

As soon as I read the thread title I knew which bike it was about 😀

Must be a contender for longest-running for sale ad? Seems like several years ago I first saw it.

Some unsuspecting victim will snap it up eventually and with ebay’s relisting policy it’ll cost them nothing to keep it on there.
Bit like the top drawer catalogue bikes people sell on Facebook

Nothing wrong with that frame – quite a nice little retro pub bike with some work done on it and obvs, a nice period seat post!  Not worth 130 but prob £75.

The seller must have issues or be trolling. I really hope the latter.

From the same seller 🙂

You definitely won’t see many of these on the streets here in the Uk

No surprise there.

LOL! This guy must be takin the p1ss!
