Raleigh Wyoming / Horizon
Looking for a bike for my wife and came across this. Are Raleigh good bikes?

That Raleigh Wyoming is a very nice bike at a very good price. Granted that it may need some work( what older bike doesn't), if it was for sale anywhere near me, I'd buy it and I don't even need another bike.

Huffy era mid 1980's, made in the far East. A Raleigh mixte in clean condition for $50 is a bargain, hurry!

Called the guy (older gentleman) and he was not sure on the frame size, so I asked how tall his wife was and she is about my height. The bike is probably too tall for my wife, but not for me. Now this might be a dumb question, but I am about 200 lbs, would I be too heavy to use this bike? And in the future, if everything is in working order and I cleaned it up, how much would I be able to sell it for?

These mixte frames are about as strong or stronger than regular frames so the weight shouldn't be a a issue. This one with a nice alloy wheel set and components nicely cleaned up ready to ride with good tires would sell for $200-250 or so in a major market.
