• Hello

    Quite a nice frame, full 531 very light and nimble, has mudguard eyelets. You can see the original here https://bikalog.org/api/view/Raleigh/1983/raleigh-1983-racers.pdf
    It has been resprayed in team Raleigh colours.

    Unfortunately the seat tube got deformed by a child seat clamp (which also took the decal off). I was actually riding it for a while until I noticed without any issues, but obviously this is not recommended.

    Collection from crystal palace

  • My dream bike when I was 13 years old, instead I had the visually similar Europa.

  • Hello,
    so the seat tube deformation - what does that mean? It can't take a seat post? Or just that deform is dangerous for riding?

  • I had the Europa too!

  • Europas were so much cooler than Athena’s.
    According to that brochure the Europa weighed 12.3kg and a had bottom gear of 42-24. I lived on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors no wonder my knees are wrecked
