Freecycle - ratty Raleigh frame

Posted on
  • So I found a whole Raleigh Esprit bike out by the bins yesterday, which is because some chump had clearly stored it outside and so lots of parts were well rusted and it was totally unrideable, though interestingly nothing was fused and I could strip it completely, so I have a few spares from it. The frame might be usable to someone though - there are some paint cracks and rust, but I don't think the tubing is cracked. I have applied a bit of flex to the rear triangle to see if it had cracked and it seemed ok, so with a bit of sanding and touching up it may be ok as a pub bike - I have scraped off the paint near the rear dropout to see what lay beneath and it didnt seem to have rusted through. The bottom bracket is pretty stiff, as one might expect.
    Size is 56tt ctc and 58 st ctc. It's not my size and I don't need it anyway, but someone might want it.
    I'm in Stoke Newington (N16) and around generally evenings and bits of the weekends. If no one wants it, it can go back by the bins...

    GONE.
