2006 Raven Sport Tour For Sale
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:29:28 PM »
Hello all

I thought this might be a good place to try to sell my late fathers bike.

He purchased it in April 2006 it is bright red gloss with black decals, he was 5ft 10inches tall if anyone wants a rough idea of size, I have the original invoice which lists the spec, it has panniers fitted and a number of other options.

I asked SJS if they were interested in purchasing it, they said that they could sell it for me, which would involve them putting it on Ebay and then letting me have 80% of the sale price. I am going to attempt to sell it myself.

At the moment the bike is in the Bristol area, I can deliver it, if necessary.

He didn't ride it that much, but serviced it regularly.

We are looking at a price around £1,150ono

If anyone has any ideas about a better place to sell it or if they think it is worth more/less money, please feel free to comment.

Regards

Alex

The Frame size is a 586s

The dimensions are:

Top tube - 575mm
Front stand over - 850mm
mid stand over - 809mm
chain stay length - 430mm
seat tube middle to middle - 486mm

If you download this:

It explains all the measurements, SJS weren't sure what the 586 meant.  I will get some photos taken, but visually it is identical to the bike on the front of the brochure except it has panniers fitted.
