  • It was on eBay, collection only - buyer flaked out on the deal. I messaged seller and am going down the road to get it tomorrow. Missing the original racks unfortunately, but the rest of the group is there and it seems in good nick - no idea what's happening with the shifters, the seller says it's all original (1989).

    These are rare as owt apparently, so happy with what I'm paying (£150)

    Does say 650c in the spec on eBay, but I'm going with the rest of the web on this. I hadn't even thought to check until you mentioned it! Mild panic...

    Not entirely sure what to do with it. I'm going to assess how much is original and if there's enough then I'll restore, if not it'll go to 1x8 as I live in the flattest city on earth (York) and would rather keep it simple.

    I'd never heard of them but they have a solid cult following and reach stupid money on eBay USA apparently. Restore very well - I love those old Raleigh colourways. http://www.gumwalls.com/stateside-650b-1985-raleigh-portage/

    Suicide levers will be first to go, obviously.

    Very likely to be 650b rather than 650c.
