The Brooks saddle is NOT included in the sale, as it fits me!!
ExtrasRohloff oil change kit [syringe, tubes, etc, will check if I have any oil left]
Rohloff cable change kit
Much loved bike, very good condition, but not doing the miles anymore so it has to go.
You cannot buy Raven Sport Tours new any more, but the new price for the basic bike was over £2k, plus the extras such as the dynamo, upgraded wheels, lights etc mean this is a top of the range example.
I am based in Suffolk and any inspections are welcome.
You would need to be willing to collect the bike from near Bury St Edmunds, I might be able to deliver depending on where my work takes me, but not guaranteed.
I am looking for realistic offers in the £1200 region, which represents a real bargain for this lovely bike. [Given that the hub alone is now £929!]email
