fighting hardly to resist that Raleigh
that 1cm more of toptube is "stoping" me!

still can't understand how it's still here!!!

Hi @noca, yes that 1cm is the reason I decided to sell this myself. You know a bit about frame building right? I had wondered if it may be possible to get the head tube replaced with 1/8 and the tt shortened by 1cm. I may ask Tom Donhou or someone local to me.

I did that to a Peugeot frame (columbus Nemo tubing). It had a 1' head tube and not it has a 1' 1/8 tube. I also replaced the toptube that was damaged (two holes made by the previous owner. Can't know why he did that!!!).

But jogger, I only changed the headtube because of the damaged toptube. That raleigh frame has a great paintjob. I know it's hard to find a 1' good fork and it's much easier to find a 1' 1/8 one. I have my scapin with a Easton full carbon 1' fork and with a shim to convert to 1' 1/8 and it works just fine.

If you can find a 1' fork please keep the frame how it is ;)
That frame is awesome and with the right components can become a PORN bike :)

Thanks for info man!
Yes, it would be a real shame to mess up the original paint job, just it would fit me spot on as 54cm square.
I have a this Donohue that is ok with a bit of stack though, so the Raleigh really needs to go I guess :(
Your Scapin is lovely! An inspiration on how to build up the Raleigh for sure.
Cheers.

great bike man! :)

You can't imagine the times I come to this thread to see the Raleigh.
Great frame!

Raleigh now £150.......

Raleigh NOW £140.....

man, you are killing me! :)

@jogger I think i need the Raleigh in my life. I have an 80's Raleigh SB 753R, this could be it's younger 'too cool for school' 90's brother. I also reckon it could look schweeet with all the kit off my (too big for me) Moser.

It might be too big for me though :(

Moser is lovely! What size?
Those Minimals 1 inch? would fit straight into the Raleigh I guess.

56 squared. I need a 53-54 ideally.

LeChef, please buy it

@jogger, is the Raleigh still going?
