Here for sale is my recently built T1 Raleigh fixed gear bike in the Raleigh Team colours! The frame size is 63cm.
The original 700c chrome rim is laced onto a new on-one large flange track hub and it runs straight, true and smooth. The front wheel is original to the bike and is smooth and very true. The rear chrome rims are in generally very good condition with only minor scratches/speckling, certainly nothing you would see without getting down and inspecting them. The front chrome rim is generally the same but there is an area where it is a bit worse and this is shown in the pictures but still nothing too bad considering the age. The wheels have brand new speedium 2 yellow tyres which go great with the colour scheme.
The chain is solid and works well with the 52t chainset and a brand new 18t cog and lockring. There is also another lockring included on the other side of the hub so with another cog/freewheel it can be used as a flip-flop hub.
The bike is set up with a single front brake linked to a new small brake lever on the horizontal part of the handlebars. The handlebars have brand new yellow grip tape that looks great.
The frame is generally in excellent condition with only a few scratches here and there. There is one patch behind the seatpost that has some paint loss, shown in the pictures, but this is only visible from the rear and doesnt affect the beauty of this bike and other than this the paint is in very good condition. Could be touched up if you can match the colours. There is also some chrome loss on the pedals. I can replace these for an extra £6 with new chrome ones.
Collection from Wimbledon/Southfields area near the Wimbledon tennis (SW19). There are also trains that run from Waterloo and Clapham Junction (to name a few) to Wimbledon station and i am happy to bring the bike and meet at Wimbledon station. Cash on Collection.
This beauty could be yours for £190! SOLD
