Always been keen on getting my hands on a fairly nice Raleigh, but never got round to it. I'm after a 70s/80s Raleigh road bike, size 53-57cm. After a bike anywhere from mid to higher level quality wise - anything reynolds 531 to some extent I suppose, otherwise I'm open to whatever.
Cheers

How about a first phase (1983) Record Sprint? It's 58cm tho.

sorry I have literally no idea what was going through my head when I wrote my post, I pretty much missed of the most important criteria. Basically I wanted this raleigh for a ss conversion, so ideally I wanted a frame or a relatively run down or at least mis-matched full bike, because I feel it would be a bit of a crime/waste of money to strip anything down too immaculate, which I have to say that Record Sprint probably looks. It is a really lovely bike though, out of curiousity how much were you looking for it?

Hi,

This isn't a Raleigh, but it's a 70's English made bike.http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/257756/#comment11925925

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
