I have been looking for a mixte road bike/tourer like the super course or something similar, but it must be a better quality bicycle. I have seen some older raleigh royals with 531 tubing on ebay and online. I will have to email the sellers, but sometimes they are clueless!

Looks low end. I wouldn't pay near what they're asking.

Thanks, The price of 'vintage' bikes on CL around here is very very high.

Bottom of the barrel, jutted axles, steel rims, cottered crank, heavy hi ten steel frame, needs work. Pass.
