Raleigh Eclipse Folding Bike Shimano 6 Speed Gears - Silver color - Used
£52.70 GBP
The Raleigh Eclipse is a classic British folding bike that keeps things straightforward for urban cycling and commuting. With 20-inch wheels and a fold-down frame, it's designed to slip into storage spaces where a full-size bike won't fit, making it practical for flat dwellers, train commuters, or anyone juggling cycling with public transport. The silver finish is understated and typical of traditional Raleigh build quality.
The bike uses a simple Shimano 6-speed derailleur system, which gives enough range for flat urban terrain and gentle hills without overcomplicating maintenance. Side-pull caliper brakes handle everyday stopping duties, though the brake cables will need replacing before use—something worth factoring into your budget if you're picking this up as a project bike. The combination of 6 speeds and 20-inch wheels strikes a decent balance between portability and practicality for city riding.
Being a used machine, the Eclipse represents honest value if you're looking for a no-fuss folding bike rather than something boutique. It's the kind of bike that does the job it was designed for—getting you from A to B without fuss—rather than chasing any particular trend. If you ride short to medium urban distances and need something that folds away tidily, and you're happy to sort the brake cables, this Raleigh offers reliable British engineering at a practical price point.
