GONE: XL-size 'The Raleigh' gaspipe frankenset

Posted on
  • Large frame and fork with extra bits, listed below. I got the frame/fork here a few years back. Would suit someone over 6'. Collect in N19.

    Estate Agent Blurb:
    Pub beater fixer-upper, ready-to-go. Fits 700c or 27" wheels. Would suit curious first time single-speeder looking to get into sore knees.
    (Just add saddle, wheels and maybe a seat post that doesn't require shimming with the lid from a tin of mackerel fillets).

    Dimensions:
    58 cm top tube c-t-c
    64cm seat tube c-t-c
    Enormous distended freakishly long 22.5cm head tube

    What it comes with:
    Quill stem
    Tange beartrap headset - Nickel-plated, one of those ones that rust if you look at them 'funny'.
    Easton EA50 risers (685mm wide)
    Avid levers
    Rose Bikes Lock-on grips
    Tektro Oryx canti up front
    Tektro R559 caliper in back (I know.. I knooow two types of brake)
    Sugino GT crankset with 52t ring-ish
    smoooove bottom bracket
    25.0 seatpost - needs a 25.4 I think.
    DMR platform pedals
    Some cable clamps
    A cable stop for a 1 x n thing if you want to go there
    Mudguards that clang (but work)

    What it needs:
    Seat clamp bolt.
    Wheels.
    Saddle.

  • Uh. Have a chain I can chuck in with it too.

  • Checking with my tall friend now, a very generous offering though

  • Tall friend has no room, nor time

  • Thanks for the update from tall friend!

    As a tall person with friends, I can definitely vouch for this frame’s sizing but it does need some fettling…

    Will throw in a single speed coversion kit with 16t and 18t cogs meanwhile.

  • This still available? Would be v. Interested! N19 also

  • Still available. Some DMs, but no-one’s claimed dibs.
    Generally around all day and evening except today!

  • Will send a DM but if still there can I call dibs on this. Happy to collect tomorrow/next few days.

  • Yup, messaged back!

  • Tange beartrap headset

    So that's what that design is called!

  • Heh, I’ve been expecting a correction on my usage (but I think it’s right).

  • This has been collected! Good to meet you Ben and good luck with the onward fettle-to-rideable-state.

  • Great to meet you too and appreciate the generosity- should have it back on the road in a week or two. Took attaching three different times before I figured it out but managed to cycle my way back. Have put a tenner donation back into the forum :)
