For Sale: My Raleigh Track

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/phasergunalex/P1020277e.jpg

So yeah, i'm not 100% sure i want this to go, but i never ride it. It looks pretty hanging up, and that's pretty much where it stays. I spent quite a while sourcing all the bits, and have consequent gotten a bit too precious over it. After riding it the other day and being paranoid about someone crashing into me the whole time, i decided that maybe it deserves a better owner with whom it'll get ridden?!

It's open to offers basically, but sensible offers! If someone offers me enough then i'll part with it. I don't really like the idea of splitting it, as i think it looks too good as it is, but i may be persuaded down the line. Hmmm.
But anyway, here's the spec:

• Raleigh Track Professional F&F 1973/74 / 56 c-t st, 55 c-c st / undrilled front & rear, although it was drilled at the front when i got it, but was filled by a professional frame repairer. Resprayed by Armourtex. Top tube has unfortunately has a small dent, probably from drops hitting it, which i stupidly didn't get sorted before the respray. Doh.
  
• Suntour NJS track hubs (pretty much identical to high flange nuovo record, but a bit rarer perhaps? I've seen less of them anyway)
  
• Wolber TX Profil rims (clinchers!)
  
• Continental Grand Prix tyres; the only brown(ish) wall tyres that are actually any good for lasting with skidding
  
• Campag Record steel headset, still pretty smooth (not too sure which era)
  
• Campag Record loose ball BB (again, not too sure which era)
  
• Campag Nuovo Record pista cranks 165mm 151bcd, with the super beefy chainring with reinforcing rings on both sides, plus campag c.ring bolts
  
• Campag Nuovo Record seatpin
  
• Brown 'moc croc' Concor, the only one i've seen
  
• Campag Record pedals, still very smooth with no play, although the dust caps have taken a few knocks
  
• Ale steel toeclips (reckon they're about a large)
  
• Laminated double straps
  
• Euro Asia cog (although it could use a silver one really)
  
• KMC devil chain
  
• Titan chromed stem, this was NOS when i got it
  
• Nitto moustache bars, B302 i think, chopped down a little, with brown brooks tape...with some cinelli bars and stem it'd be nearly exactly how it would've been originally, i do have some criterium bars with a 1A stem, and some more brown brooks tape that i could chuck in
  
  

If anyone wants anymore pics, then i'll take some. In fact, i may just take some anyway.

So, lay it on us, how much?

If Alex sells, it will be for a decent amount (as well it should be). Lovely bike.

EDIT - Bodie, if this is your first fix (which I assumed it might be based on your other thread), then I'd say this is too hot for you. + The fork has been filled so no brakes allowed (except clamp-on).

Conclusion, probably not for you - but hey could be wrong!

I'm just interested in knowing the damage, that's all!

that is gorgeous if it was my size i would snap it up no questions asked

Hehe - fair enough!

It's a funny one to value because Alex has clearly gone to serious troubl to do it justice. That said, £650 ish? Maybe a bit more?

I'm no expert, but worth every penny of the fee paid! A beauty.

+1 you dont wanna fuck it up and then be kicking yourself. a raliegh track frame is hard to come by, "you dont wanna pull a nosferatu"

Hehe - fair enough!

I think you mean a fair bit more.

esp considering what the framesets can go for.
rondonculous money

Yeah took a punt on the frame value!

wow alex! The legendary raleigh goes on sale. I hope the eventual buyer realises the enormity of its' gorgeousness.

£750-800 easily, there are part like the Titan stem that are worth more than you think nowadays.

Aaaaaaarrrrggggghhhh. That is a fucking lush bike.

this ain't no tripple figure bike! there's hell of alot more than a titan stem on there!!

I might buy this and put on some spoks, spraycan it orange and then ride straight into oncoming traffic.

Aargh! Would have bought this it being smaller ish

Perfect build.

It deserves framing Alex! Keep it!!

How much for the raleigh bike?

teh sex

so bloody nice.

Right, this is now in pieces sob, but it's all for the greater good, as i need a new laptop, NOW! I can take some close up pix of all the bits if required, or alternatively just pop into Cavendish Cycles to have a look in the flesh. Again, no dibs, and again it'll be first come first served, but prices are negotiable i guess...just make an offer. Oh, and i'd definately do a deal on several bits. Yep
So anyway, i've now added prices to the most of the original spec list (i'm keeping a few bits for now):

• Raleigh Track Professional F&F 1973/74 / 56 c-t st, 55 c-c st / undrilled front & rear, although it was drilled at the front when i got it, but was filled by a professional frame repairer. Resprayed by Armourtex. Top tube has unfortunately has a small dent, probably from drops hitting it, which i stupidly didn't get sorted before the respray. Doh.

• **SOLD **with steel Campy headset, and Campy BB (111mm BSC)

• Campag Nuovo Record pista cranks 165mm 151bcd, with the super beefy chainring with reinforcing rings on both sides (48t 1/8"), plus campag pista c.ring bolts

• **£150 **...can also include a 50t 151 campy ring (3/32") and the original Campy crank bolts.

• Campag Nuovo Record seatpin 27.2

• £40

• Brown 'moc croc' Concor, the only one i've seen

• SOLD

• Campag Record pedals, still very smooth with no play, although the dust caps have taken a few knocks, with Ale steel toeclips (reckon they're about a large)

• SOLD
