Craig's List for that blue Raleigh

This bike has been re-listed again for $235 this time.

 

It is NOT one of my bikes and I have no knowledge of it other than what I have gleaned in reading the guy's posts and looking at the pics.  

 

It looks like it has had a halfway-decent job of tuning on it and new Kenda tires.  Prices have been going up so this really isn't too far out of the realm IMHO.  

 

It looks to be very clean and the paint is seemingly in very good condition.  Check for integrity of the crank cotters and how well it shifts (no neutral in 2nd gear!)    I'd say a $200 offer would be a good starting point.  If it is really well tuned then the price they are asking is pretty good.

What was 'it', so I can lament not buying 'it' in retrospect. ;^D

Erin and I will be bringing our wet-suits! At least we'll have an excuse to stay longer at the bars on Saturday!!!!

Have fun in the great white north!  Hopefully the weather will be nice.

 

There should be a 3-speed tour nearer to us.  Don't we have any scenic lakes or other pleasant places to ride in ill noise?
