FS: 1950s Raleigh Royal Green & Gold Beater/Pub Bike 56cm Complete bike £100 > Now £80
I'm selling my loyal Raleigh Royal as I've now too many bikes and should really get rid of some of them.
It's perfect for a pub bike or something to cycle to the shops. Rides pretty well, it goes and stops and turns round corners. The paint is great, really deep colour, and looks great when you polish it up. Homemade internal routing for rear brake works well and hasn't caused any problems.
I rode it around with a track wheelset and risers and it was solid. Put some steel wheels on it now and some old bars I had lying around so that who ever buys it can just get on and ride away.
List of parts:
50s Raleigh Royal frame & forks 56cm square CTC
Chrome 27" steel wheels (pretty pitted but fine for riding), tyres and 5 speed freewheel (running on only 1 speed)
Tange Allez headset rolling smooth
GB Sprite caliper brakes and Weinmann levers
Rad 70s AVA stem and (sorta bent) alloy bars - I've used them like this for a good 6 years, no worries about them breaking
Alloy seatpost and scatty saddle
Sealed square taper shimano BB & Sturmey Archer chainset.
£100 O.N.O > Now £80
