Raleigh 8807/Randonneur 531st 58cm £180

Selling my workhorse, as I have moved to an electric. This is perfect as a commuter and has full mudguards for winter. A strong frame and bombproof wheels. The frame will take up to 32 with mudguards.
The whole thing is £180.
Collection from Crystal Palace.

I bought this frame a couple of years ago from the forum member and built it up. Bottom bracket and headset were replaced with new ones at that point. If you are into retro, some additional information on the frame at the bottom of the post, but otherwise:

The frame is made from 531st - a slightly stiffer variant of 531. 1st generation Randonneur was made of 531st, later they moved to 708.
