What Raleigh Model is this?



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

This would be my first road bike. Guy says it's a 410 but I can't seem to find anything on the internet. Can anyone help me out? He's selling it for about 80, he said all it needs is an extra tube and I would need to grease the chain. Other than that it was never used. This would be my first road bike so I'm not sure I care to invest too much into one just yet. Let me know what you guys think, thanks.

I'd guess it is a Capri with Raleigh 410 tubing.

Try talking him down to 50, or have him replace the tube, etc. to get it in rideable shape. 80 isn't a terrible price, but it's a low end bike that there are plenty of out there. All nice and clean it should be worth maybe 100.

At $80, you really can't get much, and this bike fits that description. Be prepared to spend some $$ getting it road ready. If you do the work yourself, that should not cost much. If you pay a shop to do the work, then you rapidly risk being upside down on this bike.

I can probably take care of the stuff stated. Thanks for the input.
