For Sale: Vintage Raleigh TI Team Professional Bike, 64c, 531c Reynolds frame

I'M POSTING THIS BIKE FOR A FRIEND SO WILL DO MY BEST ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS :)

Selling a stunning vintage Raleigh Ti Team Professional racer, complete with all original parts and in good condition. Made in England in the 70s/80s this was a highly successful racing bike in it's day.

The 531c Reynolds frame is 64cm in size, the c stands for Competition, these were very expensive frames and the bike is specced equally well. It seems to be very low mileage with minimal wear to the cogs, pedals, rims, brakes etc. Everything feels solid and crisp and like the bike has had a very easy life. An identical bike in considerably worse condition and without pedals recently sold for £350 here

A highly collectable and beautiful British vintage racer that rides like a dream and will only increase in value. Lots of info on these can be found on google.

Components:

• Raleigh Ti 531c Frame
  
• Campagnolo Cranks + BB (hardly any wear on cogs, very low mileage)
  
• Campagnolo pedals
  
• Campagnolo Nuovo Record rear mech,
  
• Campagnolo front mech
  
• Campagnolo brakes, pads and levers
  
• Campagnolo Record hubs with Mavic GP4 rims - these are very light
  
• Tubular tyres, rear needs replacing, front could be used but should probably also be replaced
  
• Cinelli Stem
  
• Cinelli Criterium bars
  
• Campagnolo twin pin seat post
  
• Brown Iscaselle Tornado Saddle
  
• Campagnolo quick release wheel skewers
  
  

Overall condition is good, a few specs of rust and small scratches here and there but overall clean and very nice to look at, no dents and totally straight. The paint is still bright. There are a few small touchups on the frame where paint was scratched off but nothing serious and the bike looks great. The chrome rear chainstay has hardly any pitting and is nice and shiny. One of the pedal leather straps has a broken metal link, the pedals themselves are very good. Wheels run pretty true with good spoke tension, rear could do with new grease and they may benefit from a service before using the bike again. Bottom bracket, cranks, brakes & gears are perfect. Comes with Agu Sport bike bag with a neon yellow Avocet 30 speedo + cable, this needs new battery + fitting and a role of tub tape.

Inspection is very welcome, I live in Battersea, South London. I can email hi-res images on request.

Just confirmed its definitely 64? Interested?

This is a lovely bike but I think you may get more than your asking if you split, would be a shame though as it seems complete. I have an identical one and paid a similar price. This was Raleigh's top of the range off the peg model, only bettered by the Team Pro frame-sets in 531 or 753 (the Ilkeston ones). £350 is a good price for a 531c frame and full Campag groupset, compared to some of the stuff that sells on here!

meant to add that the one on ebay has been on there for months and months, it won't sell for £800!

Why don't you just wait and see how much you get for it on Ebay? Why advertise it here after listing it anyway?

Has this been listed on ebay? If so, close the thread.
