Hi

I have for sale my Raleigh special build Ilkeston track bike, restored by Vernon Barker. I believe this was a training frame back in the day for Team GB or whatever they were called then although I cannot substantiate this. It is frame number SB5778 and also has stamped on the bottom bracket, although less deeply 14 and 54 (Gears perhaps)

The frame and forks are Reynolds 531 and measure; seat tube c-c 50cm top tube c-c 55cm. The fork crown has been drilled for a front brake, the rear undrilled.

It is currently built with the following:

Campagnolo Veloce headset
Cinelli XA stem 135mm, ITM bars 40cm
Ultegra front brake
TA Specialities crankset 170mm
Shimano 39T chainring, SRAM gold chain
Handbuilt Mavic cxp22 rims 32h laced with stainless DT spokes to large flange Formula hubs. Nearly new Maxxis Columbiere tyres.
The rear is flip flop free / fixed with 16T sprockets.

It's in lovely condition, just a few minor marks here and there.

Plenty of pics here:

Thanks, I thought I was being a bit heavy with the price, on reflection £450 seems reasonable.

Do you consider to sell the bike but without the wheel?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
