For Sale: Unfinished project; Raleigh 531 + bits

Posted on
  • For sale is my unfinished conversion project.

    Frame is 57 cm Raleigh Rapide circa '81. Frame is in great condition apart from the paint job, which seen better days with spot rust and the like - nothing a powder coat couldn't fix.
    The fork, headset & stem and the cranks are all original; the stem and cranks should clean up nicely with some decent metal polish but the headset is quite rusty and perhaps beyond saving (it functions with no problem at all however).
    Wheels are generic black deep section rims with surface wear from brake pads;
    The bars are from Brick Lane Bikes (BLB Bullhorn Bars 38cm) with (I think) original lever. Front caliper is also original I think. The saddle is salvaged from an old MTB.
    £80

    Also available is a Shimano Sora rear Caliper w/ 49mm drop, brand new and never even fitted; £7
    Gold Finger LH lever (black & Gold) £7
    Specialized drops from Langster steel** £2

    **Or £90 for the lot.

    Prefer to sell the lot together so preference will be given to someone who will take everything. Cash on collection from E3, evenings and weekends before 17th Feb

    Hi Maxxx

    It's ridable yeah but by no means perfect; the chain needs a link or two out and the original brake barely functions! I would advise a tinker about before taking it out for a proper ride.
