Reckoned I did well here. I am away at the moment it is going to a mates house. No idea when I will get back.
So haven't checked it out yet. Hopefully it will arrive undamaged.
You may want to read another tread of mine. The end bit is the important bit.

Looks like a bargain to me... I must say it looks in sparkling nick for having 20,00K on the clock.

The 2 stands?? Could be a big factor in stopping scratches. He seems genuine, I will see, I would like to say soon enough but not sure how long I will be in Manchester.. God I hate it here.

Bike arrived at neighbours no feedback till I get back to Lincolnshire and check it. A bike shop (koobikes) rung to say they collected and posted it with there outgoing sales. Appears they did any work needed on his bike. The mechanic said I had robbed him! I am desperate to get home and go out for a ride. Insured it new for old the day he posted it.

That looks a great bike, and at a keen price too. Its got all the bells and whistles you might need. Sarah Outen used one of these for her ride across to Japan via Russia so it comes with great provenance. I scoured the add but could find no size mentioned?

  Can't find email at the moment but I think he is 6' and I am 5'10". I think I got the size of the bike of him and it was suitable. I like the handlebars which will allow a lot of variation in position.

A missed opportunity... They happen. You have to stay switched on! Note the first one is being relisted. Check what you get in the description and note the failure in the heading to give sufficient info. Of course if you look at the bike I won then you can see just how I won mine at such a good price. The first went far to high and the second far to low.

Been back a week but busy planting out and trying to get a few other things done. Only done about 120 miles maybe a bit more. Collected 3 gallons of wood treatment and a 2 gallon petrol can (empty pity) from 13 miles away. No wobble or anything negative to the feel. Brooks saddle uncomfortable but did a bit of adjustment seems better. Need to do 60 miles to be sure.
Bike immaculate the only scratches were minor on cross bar. Paintwork seriously thick. Seller sent vast amounts of spares. Including about 6 oil changes. Need to do one. Ceramic coated rims show minimal sign of wear. Pads tons of wear left spares included. Bike very well packaged it Included a quality helmet not included in the listing. Gave it to bloke who looked after my bike for me. Seriously pleased with purchases. Not decided wherever to sell Raven Enduro yet.
    Looks like I got real bargain. Give it a bit more time. Bought some Big apples and some extra puncture protection.

Still busy. Must say the feel of the gears is noticeable better than my Thorn Raven Enduro. The 20,000 km definitely broke in the Rohloff gears!
