Good looking bike. I count 40 spokes in rear and 36 in front.

$200

Are you looking at the 4 year old ad on R e d d i t?

(Why can't we use the word R e d d i t on this forum?)

$200 would be a solid price on a touring bike like this. Touring bikes tend to command a premium. This is not an upper end bike but it looks clean.

The pictures were in the attached PDF. The forum wouldn't let me attach photos until I've made 10 posts.

No, this is a private seller in Ohio. I am not aware of an ad on R e d d i t.

We have an old Raleigh Kodiak to sell in excellent condition. Has been stored indoors always. It has a weathered Brooks saddle and leather handle bar cover. Where can I sell something like that?

Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. Not worth the time and effort to sell on ebay.
