  • are those 700 or 27 wheels? They look smaller for some reason.

    My mate might take that if the wheels are full size, i'll mail him a link now.

  • un dibs sorry

  • wheels look big enough to me.
    Could I ask a question? The cranks on that, I think i've got a set similar (3arm stronglights) could you check if thats what they are? There might be a number stamped on the inside of each arm just next to the pedal thread. Cheers.

  • Looks really nice. What is the frame size in cm? Also would you post to Glasgow? I'd prob get my mate to check it out and pay cash if you prefer that to paypal or whatever. Cheers. Stu

  • was about to dibs it for him ^. It's a 55 by my calculations, which should be the right size for him. Will pm you as i don't think he can yet.

  • Hi all,
    It is what equates to a 54cm medium. It's the size I always ride (which is a medium in today's money)
    Wheels are 27 1/4".
    I can FedEx top Glasgow yes.
    Stu - I'm Emailing you now.
    Cheers

  • No stamps on inside of cranks. front RH has a small stamp that looks like the Raleigh 'bird's head' on it but it's so small I can't really make it out!
    Near the BB spindle.

  • Hi Bernie. Thats sounds good. I'll pm you later - I'm just going out with work but I'll get back to you later on today. Can I have dibs??!! It all looks good but I'll give you a shout later.

    Stu

  • Dibs accepted.
    Will wait for your Email.

  • The cranks were made by Raleigh and were used in alot of there Racing bikes like the Europa and Arena and I think BSA Tour de France. They were cottered and could be either single with a 48/49 ring or double and the smaller ring was 42 and I think you could buy a conversion kit to convert your bike from 5 to 10 speed.

    Thanks Robbiebee!

  • Lovely bike. My older brother bought one very similar to this, though a 10-speed and a bit bigger, when I was a kid 30 years ago. God, how I lusted after that bike. He was good enough to let me borrow it on occasion.

    When I got a few years older I lusted after a 531 Team Pro and then the 753, probably like every other kid in the country. Maybe some day.

  • Hello everybody, just found the site via "Raleigh Europa" google search and have now joined.
    Can't PM you yet as a newbie.

    I had 3 of these bikes, my dad finally stopped getting me insurance replacements after the 3rd was stolen !

    Berniebike, is it still for sale, time to relive my youth.... smaller than my usual 23" but it's wanted as a commuter bike so I like them small and "flicky".

    Cheers, Pete
