"long shot but anyone know people that do them up, clearing out an old shed here have an old Raleigh racer (snapper era) and lady's bike bit rusty but not seized. shame to throw them out. "

I remember going up north in the late 80s to get my older brother a Raleigh Banana for a combined Santi and birthday pressie.

My pride and joy as a child was my Raleigh Mag Burner, which I bought with my communion money, my IR£87 wasn't enough and my mom put the rest. IR£110 I'm sure we payed.

A lot of money back then, I just remember her saying "Are you sure you want this one" but my older brothers were adamant, I get the Mag Burner.

There is a guy at the top of chapel Street that recycles them and sells them on cheap.

But stick them up on one of the small add sites and you will get a few quid for them.

Why did you have to get the Santy bike? Was he not able to get it himself?

Ha, I bought a High Nellie Raleigh from some young lad at a d*unken college party years back. It was a great wee bike!

Best bet is Done Deal cuz all the auld folk use that. You will def get a few pound for it, even if it's just for parts
