Touring bike wanted

Anyone have a touring bike they want rid of size 54/56cm

I have an early 80's Raleigh touring steel frame in a 54cm

Had it built up as a 9 speed for getting around town but I was never able to get it perfect as it was designed for a 5 speed gruppo. Ill admit I'm very new to bikes so you might have better luck. Plenty of scuffs but no dents and its rust free.

This is it when it was built up

Cheers P, I would prefer a sloping top tube, which should give me a more relaxed riding position.

No worries, Best of luck in your search

I've a Planet X Kaffenback that I'm not sure I like yet, only ridden 200k so far

It's setup as a 9 speed, with a MTB rear cog, Shimano 105 rear mech. I've got a front mech that you can have too but you will need to source a clamp, I also have a matching bar end shifter. I'm based in Wexford and am looking for €450 no less.
I'm based in Enniscorthy

Dont know when i will get to test ride, and not sure Jondoe really wants to sell, so I will put this on hold for now if anyone else is interested feel free to work away.
