Price is 'open to offers' - this is a very rare bike, e.g. restored one in Paris shop at €400.

Location, yes, a good point. I am adding the Loughborough postcode, which is unfortunately not very local for you.
Re: Gitane classic folding bike 46cm (Leics)
Ah ok, good luck with the sale looks a great bike
Re: Gitane classic folding bike 46cm (Leics)
Yes. It's a bike I feel more secure on e.g.in snow than my mountain bike. And good to know someone approves the price too, which is hard to determine. Thanks

Just a point re the tyres you can get good quality solids in that size so you could have puncture free riding as well .
What size range do you reckon it would fit ?

Didn't know that.
