Yes! The saddle alone is worth half the price.

Who would put that much love into a bike and then sell it for $150?

He is basically giving it away, wonder why. Where is it, if reasonably close I’ll go get it, would love to have that bike.

Picked the bike up this evening. The seller was a major collector w/ 34 bikes, including several beautiful Italian bikes, a Miyata 1000, & to many others to mention. The Raleigh SC 12 has new cables & housing, all the bearings have been repacked, & recent tires as well. Can't wait to give it a test ride.

Congratulations!! I love Raleigh Carlton bikes. They are very comfortable bikes. I ride my Competition GS a lot. You will not be disappointed, and the bike looks great too, Enjoy, Joe

The SunTour bar-end shifters are worth the other half of the price.

I picked mine up a couple of months ago from the original owner. I only changed out the saddle to a Brooks B72 I had, and did one of my detailings on it. Price? A mere $60.

I'm 6' tall, but with long legs. I know, looking at it, it would appear you would have to have a ladder to get on it. All my Road bikes are tall framed, lol.
