Wanted: Raleigh frame urgent urgent

Hey, I built my bike using info from this forum, so thanks very much. Unfortunately my headtube has just snapped, probably explaining the creaking ive been hearing for ages. Im looking for a 57cm raleigh frameset to transfer all the other parts to. Thanks thanks, any help is massively appreciated, no bike = no money!

I snapped a bit of my raleigh, although mines probably repairable.

Was yours an 80's midrange kinda bike?

Mine was a record, whenever I see them (fairly common) the forks are always bent.

Then mine breaks, now yours.

Maybe considering something different is in order? Raleigh did make some better bikes/frames. I think you spot them out by, having a strong cast fork crown, and thick campagnolo style dropouts.

Yeah, it was a cheapo 80s job. Although I only need a frame that will last for the next couple of weeks until I go to university.

there's plenty on ebay

here's one

I just picked up a Raleigh Pursuit last weekend, black, complete bike in good nick, less than £30. Can't complain about that.

There was a guy on here offering a Team Banana Replica a couple of days ago. I believe it's still available as he PM'd me (sorry I haven't replied to you yet)

got a 60cm claude butler ( holdsworth ) or a 56cm raleigh medale

Hey, sorry to resurrect this thread. I bought the team banana bike (thanks will!), but collided with a pedestrian so the frame is now cracked. Anyone have a 56/58cm raleigh frame? muchos graziath.

fucking hell, you've gone through 2 frames in 2 weeks? Maybe you should re-assess your riding style before killing another innocent conversion? :)

I have a 57cm geoffrey butler in blue, lovely frame, but i don't think I want to sell it to you, truth be told!

I only broke one of them as a result of a crash! The other one was just old. I only want to spend 30-40£ which probably rules out your non-offer :). Just out of curiosity, how much do you want for it?

more than £30/£40. I don't really want to sell it to be honest.

Is it Renault 531 asm?

It is.

I have the answer.

I will sell my Carbolite (feel the might of the Carbolite!) frame to RJFC2, ASM will sell his frame to me, then we are all happy.

I suggest £30 for the Carbolite, and I will pay ASM £75 for the GB.

Carbo 103 frame/fork/headset/seatpost/seatpost clamp is now waiting in my hall to be given to Mr Ex-Raleigh.

ASM, any chance of selling me your frame?

Does anyone have contact details for the chap who started this thread?

If so could they PM them to me please?

Thanks

pm, him

I just like those saddles, and twas cheap in Scurgery that day.
