eBay and Craigslist finds

Unusual to have a 631 with mudguard eyes, can't see much on this crappy tablet but is that a high tensile steel decal on the downtube near the BB

Looks like somebody splashed out for a nice sticker to help with the resale.

Definitely NOT !
No one would use those lugs or ends with decent tube.
It's gas-pipe !

Correcto. The 18-23 is the real stuff. The only 631 is the additional sticker.

possibly also been front ended from the looks of the top tube/head tube junction

fair enough, my mistake!

agree

I have self banned myself from this thread and eBay for 24hrs for my stupidity.

In other Raleigh news:

This definitely isn't what it's advertised as, but looks very interesting:

What other online second hand platforms are there for bikes/parts? I literally only use here and ebay...Im sure there are more.

Retrobike ?

Pinkbike, Singletrack, Facebook.

👍👍 Thanks all

craigslist.

A bit of detective work suggests that's a Pat Rohan (which makes sense as the other bike the vendor has for sale is a Pat Rohan).

I think you are correct.

Would make a nice retro-tourer.

Well worth £30!

resisting the urge to bid on this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304337780786 size is ok and it's a 90 min drive from me.

This is insanely cheap. I can’t link for some reason.

Hmm. The saddle alones £70. San Marco Rolls. That's a nice bike.

Someone will make a tidy sum flipping it on eBay or parting it out.

seems pretty tidy for £450

Also an interesting crop of obscure jerseys from around the world on grailed.com

Nobody seems to want canti bikes anymore.

I still see plenty of guys doing well at CX events on them.

Quite... I've had my Kona Major Jake lurking in the classifieds since forever, now basically given up selling it and set it up as a SSCX aka commuter.
