    Hi All
    Looking for a new home for my Burley D'lite Trailer.
    I bought this in 2007 and used it to ferry 2 ladies to their creche every day for a few months. I ended up needing to use my car more and more for work, so had to give it up.
    I bought it in online from the US. Burley is the brand leader there. http://www.burley.com/ I had another Trailer before this one, but I only used it for a few weeks - it wasn't great and i needed something reliable. I really enjoyed using this,and was sorry to have to give it up. Finally have come to the conclusion that it won't be used in this house anymore.
    I live in Dublin 7 - so it's available for collection from my house. I also go along the N4 quite a bit, so i could deliver as far as Carrick on Shannon or thereabouts.

    Lots of pictures below.
    The Manual can be found here http://www.burley.com/support/manuals/2007/Manuals/170004_Manual_Child_Trailer_07.pdf
    General Specs:
    •Special features include a reclining seat back for napping children.
    •Its dished wheels, wide track and low center of gravity provide maximum strength and stability
    •Protective alloy roll-cage and five-point safety harness system guard your child in the unlikely event of a major tumble
    •Burley Hitch has a flex-connector which allows the trailer to remain upright if the parent's bike falls over
    •Quick-release wheels allow it to fold down to a compact size for easy storage
    •Frame constructed with light, strong aluminum alloy tubing, contoured side roll-bars and a water-resistant nylon shell
    •Wide Screen™ 2-in-1 Cover™ with mesh screen and rainfly shields little ones from bugs, wind and rain; also includes adjustable sun shield
    •Rear storage area accommodates extra gear, groceries or daypacks; interior pockets stash treasures
    •Includes an adjustable handlebar and parking brake
    • Weight 20 pounds
    • Capacity 100 pounds
    • Wheel diameter 20 inches
    • Dimensions 34 x 33 x 32 inches
    • Folded dimensions 34 x 32 x 10 inches
    • Material(s) Aluminum
    • Fabric - Nylon
    It cost me 600 dollars (including the shipping etc). It's in really excellent condition (as you can see from the pics), so i'm looking for €200.
    Any takers?
    Teacosy.

    Hi
    With the addition of this piece, http://www.amazon.com/Burley-Bicycle-Trailer-Stroller-Kit/dp/B000R9CH8W
    this trailer will turn into a buggy.
    I never bought the Stroller Kit though, it was an optional extra. The trailer came with the handlebar, which is removable - its not in the pictures.

    Hi,
    Could you PM your mobile number

    I am in Galway but around Meath/Dublin this weekend. I'll decide this evening whether or not I'll take it and get in touch to view/do a deal.

    How would this work as a trailer to carry gear instead of panniers? Thanks

    The capacity is 100lbs. You COULD carry goods in it, but it's a lot to spend if you're just going to carry "stuff" and not children (wait, hang on i'm supposed to be selling this :rolleyes:)....
    Seriously, if you're looking for something to carry stuff in, i can give you the first trailer i had for €50 Its a Raleigh Adventure.

    €50 sounds interesting, is it in good working order?

    I had a quick look, is this it?

    I am interested in the D'lite. I won't be in Dublin until the middle of next week though so it may be sold by then. I will contact you next week if it is still available. Thanks.

    Hi Drapper
    I couldn't let it go for €100. It's really in top notch condition, and is probably underpriced at €200.
    Ta.

    Hi Coppertop,
    Keep in touch, i can meet you during the week if you want to come and see it.
