Suspicious links.. not sure I want to click on them 😅

Is there something I’m missing?

Is there something I’m missing?

Yes, but it’s not a big deal.

The links were shortened so you couldn’t see where they might take you once you click on them, but have since been edited to show the full link.

Giant track team. Not sure what's going on with description but it's currently just over a tenner in Southampton.

Strip back cycling to its raw form and clip yourself in to the fixed whee track bike with no freewheel and only one front brake (Ultegra).

Sublime

Guessing this is a replica TI frame... messaged the seller twice for a frame number / photo of BB but he is just ignoring.

I have done the same, drop outs never had that hole in them and it’s got bottle cage mounts.
I assume they just took a road frame and put track dropouts and forks on it.

Yep, as lovely as Zeus track ends are they weren't ever fitted to Raleigh track frames.

They look like Shimano track ends to me, just sayin'. I have identical looking track ends on my Rourke that I have known as Shimano for the last 6 or 7 years, but of course I could be completely wrong.

Sorry not had my morning caffeine yet, think you might be right actually. And shows how long it's been since I've ridden fixed. If it helps more info on Raleigh drop out and fork ends here.

Oooh that's really interesting reading, thanks. After 35 years in London and the home counties I have moved back to Nottingham (my place of origin), and I've always had a liking for Raleigh. Nearly bought an early 90s steel framed Raleigh MTB a few weeks ago.

@jambon @Picard They are Zeus ends, something to do with Ron Kitching being the importer of said stuff back in the day. I've seen a few Rourke track frames with Zeus ends!

Unless they are modern Zeus repros which are now being used by a lot of people in near identical shape

Thanks H, happy to be corrected! You've seen my old Rourke, I doubt they're repros, so Zeus they are I reckon.

If you want more pictures of the Raleigh frame they are on this link.

Carbon quill stem. Almost as rare as NJS brakes.

Wow
