This cute little number is a MARLBORO Vitesse ladies riding bike (from the early 1970s). She's been my trusty gal for several years and goes by the name Lucy. Sadly, it's time for Lucy to find a new home but I've loved riding with her these past years - if you like her, she's gonna be your little gem.Lucy is a vintage bike so of course she's needs a bit of attention and care to keep her in shape but she's in good nick: Size = 56cmTyre size = 27 inches5 speedGears = I moved these to the centre bar between the handle bars which makes them nice and easy to changeTyres and mudguards: less than one year oldWe just recently completed a 190-mile from London to Bristol packed with camping gear and she held up great.Her last service was just recently in August. I had the crank fixed up at that time which cost a wee bit so that's a bonus for you.Niggles- The bar tape has lost a spot on the right-hand bar (see photo). Rest is in perfect condition- Chain can pop off from time to time. When we cycled with weight, it was doing it more frequently. Without the weight, it might happen once a week. Chain has been checked out but may need to be changed soon.- Brakes = Lucy needs care when cycling in the rain as her wheels are steel which make the brakes slippery. I just made sure to ride smooth and steady and anticipated extra braking distance but want you to be aware of this.- Note: Lucy doesn't come with the back pannier rack in the photos (I am keeping this)Bonuses- I will include for free the ABUS U-lock (Granit X Plus 540) which is selling now for up to £95 alone. I have the keys and code card.
