This Raleigh Vitesse is a classic steel bike presented in nice original condition. There are some marks and a few scratches, including a tiny bit of pitting by the brake cable guides, but otherwise it’s in lovely condition. It shifts nicely, stops nicely and rides very well, so snap this up if you are in the market for a comfortable and practical road bike that offers great ride quality!

Complete bikes are checked over, and given a service if required, so they are working as they should and any issues will be listed so you the buyer can assess your purchase.
