    Need some advice folks. Not the greatest bike ever made but it was my first bike…a Raleigh pro race…https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192487092107?ViewItem=&item=192487092107.. i did more miles on one of these than all my other bikes put together…and was really the only bike i ever loved.

    Having sold mine nearly twenty years ago due to a young family i’m now wanting to buy one back and found this on ebay. I’ve offered him his money but how the hell do i get it from Ipswich to Preston without a 500 mile round trip in a car ?

    Any advice ?

    I used them to ship a very nice bike to NI and it all worked perfectly.

    Not if he was the full time carer of a son with special needs he wouldn’t…all I can manage is an hour here and there.

    Will they do that Doug?…

    Will they do that Doug?….brill….I’ll get on to it.

    I bought  myself a Cannondale today. A Connondale and my old bike back will be a nice combo for me.  This is turning into a good weekend.

    Post the cash.

    Post the cash.

    Get a courier (D.H.L OR SOME OTHER FIRM) to collect the bike and deliver it to you.

     

    Generaly not highly expensive.

     

    Good Luck.
