This is a Raleigh Road bike. I would guess it is from the 80's, the bike is 20 inches from bottom bracket to the bottom of the seat post and has a 30 inch stand over height.The frame is made of Cromoly. Please call, text or email for more information. Tom 757-646-0376.

Better check the bike frame size, that is for a shorter person, around a 50cm frame. I agree with the previous post. The price is right, but not a bargain. If the hubs and bottom bracket are re-lubed and the tires are new and if the chain is in new condition, and most important, its your size, it's not a bad deal.
BTW, I have a slightly newer model (87) that is my grocery getter/gofer bike. It has a very nice ride.

+1 Really small frame, which if you need one, that's a huge plus. Small frame bikes sell for a premium. Its a decent not great bike at a reasonable price. So if that is what you are looking for, and it fits, I would go for it. In prime riding season (this spring and summer), bike could sell in the $150 to $175 range around here.
