For Sale: Raleigh fixed gear conversion

Posted on
  • Selling on behalf of a friend who recently upgraded to something a little more special, this is based on a pretty nice old Raleigh frame that has been powder coated mid-grey, a few chips, plus some marks from being taped but finish pretty sound, original brass head badge, straight and no dents, relaxed geometry with mudguard eyes f&r (kinda path look). Ovalised down and seat tubes (by design not accident), reasonably light. Single bottle cage mount, but no other leftover braze-ons, only giveaway to conversion are the non-track rear drop-outs (horizontal). Chainline perfect.
    51.5mm seat tube C-C, 56mm top tube C-C (hence short stem). English BB.
    Rest of the spec...
    Wheels: new On-One/Planet-X aero rims on sealed hubs (rear double fixed)
    Tyres: new Rubinos
    Cranks: Shimano 105 in the retro silver-grey finish, 170mm
    BB: nearly new unbranded sealed, Shimano fitting tool reqd.
    Chainring: Sugino 49T 3/32" nearly new, Sugino bolts
    Sprocket: new Miche 3/32" 18T
    Chain: new KMC-Z610 HX chrome
    Headset: new unbranded 1" threaded
    Stem: SR Custom 65mm
    Bars: new unbranded flats, slight bend
    Grips: new Gussett
    Brake lever: new Tektro, other one included in case you want to go SS

    Seat post: System EX 25.8mm
    Saddle: new Selle Italia XO Gel

    That's it... asking SOLD, viewing/collection SE1 or will post at cost (about £12?).

  • Retro, the bike looks ace! The frame is a 1982 Raleigh Pulsar i believe. It's a good first fixed with a heck of a lot more character than otp. Good luck with the sale :-)

  • Might be interested in that. Don't you usually have a stock as well Retro?

  • sold!
