Hey all, considering selling my beloved 1980s Raleigh conversion to raise funds towards an off the peg.
Not a clue to value so any offers considered?
Seat Tube 54cm CTC, 501 steel frame in a dark blue with a slight purple tinge to it - lovely colour but has suffered scratches you would expect with age.
Running free wheel 42/16 currently with SPDs fitted, recently NOS chrome forks fitted and bran new Tiagra breaks (front and back). Also comes with Charge spoon saddle and charge bar tape.
In need of a bit of TLC also needs a new headset (£15-20) but currently roadworthy with Schwalbe Stelvio (white striped) front and back less than six months old. Regina wheels front and back - old but in pretty good nick and strong as hell! Solid rear axel, quick release on the front.
This was my first SS and has done me proud, I have found it quick and resilient to London roads and it has absorbed a few 50 mile rides without difficulty, was always a little too big for me, would suit someone 5'7'' - 6' I guess and would make a great first time singlespeed / winter project / hack type anything.
Sorry about the poor picture, will add more as soon as possible.
