Any pointers as to where I can find out more about this bike as I've been
offered a second hand one.

Steve, for a first look try:

Like to know the general sort of price one should pay for a reasonable but
old one.

They show up on German ebay now and then. Prices vary between 200 and
500 Euro, sometimes even more, depending on condition and components.

Also where can I find specs?

The specs changed over the years, brakes were mostly Magura hydraulics.
Radius produced three different sorts of seat (mesh), all to see on the
site above. The left(newest) is the best IMO.

I know it was made by radius in Germany and that they no longer produce it.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Pro:
reliable,
sturdy,
comfortable - especially the seat,
silent - no chain noise, no idlers,
excellent braking power,
high enough for traffic,

Con:
heavy
not very aerodynamic,
unusual front wheel(20" 440, not 406), rims and tires hard to find, very
limited choice,
not easy to learn(USS),
not easy to store(loooong),

test rides are highly recommended before buying

Not exactly a speed king, but an excellent choice for anyone who loves
touring and recreational riding on country roads and prefers a low
bottom bracket and USS.
