Everything can be collected from Tufnell Park, evenings and weekends, or I will post the smaller things at cost.
No dibs. The first person to commit to a time to come and collect, or pay if I am posting, gets the item.

Raleigh Lenton Marque III, 1958, 21 inch, road version of this classic sportster. Takes 27" wheels, or 700c with a long-drop brake. Includes bottom bracket (which needs grease), and probably all of a headset, though not 100% guaranteed. Frame is Reynolds 531 and is straight with no dents. Fair amount of superficial rust and wear, but the paint is all original, and oh my, whatever the person who did the design work was on, I want some. £40. Sold.
Raleigh Worksop built touring frame, 25-inch. Dropouts are Gipiemme. Double eyelets and rack mounts, plus a chain hanger. Lugs are Bocama, I think. For 700c wheels. No damage to the steel at all and clean threads. I have the brass Raleigh head badge, though it has lost its paint somewhere along the line. Has been re-sprayed in a nice blue and not used much since -- there are a few marks on the inside of the drive-side chainstay, but that's about it. It has some of a Shimano 600 or 105 headset, which I can leave on or knock out. I probably have the rest of it somewhere, and you are welcome to it if I do. No forks, so £35. Sold.
Non-matching Raleigh forks for the above which I got from Hilary Stone and have the necessary virtue of a long, long steerer. He sold them to me as very probably 531, and if he doesn't know what steel a Raleigh fork is made of, no one does. £20, or £15 if bought with the Raleigh frame. Sold.
Sugino Super Maxy crankset with a 42t ring. Was once shocking pink, now a demure rose. Still, a damn fine crankset. £40 now £30.
Seventies 700c wheelset, Araya single-wall rims on Normandy hubs with original quick releases, clinchers, 36 spokes, threaded for a freewheel. 100/126 mm OLN. Some rust to the spokes but superficial and none need replacing. Both wheels nice and true. Hubs are very free-running, with just a little bit of rumble. This is a strikingly light wheelset that I've been keeping for something which hasn't happened, so for sale at £40. Now £30. Sold.
Outland bullhorn bars, 465 mm to the outisde edges. Never been used. Cheap and decent alternative to Nittos.** £10 now £7**.
Pair of MKS clips. Look new nut with a bit of storage wear. £5. Sold
SR 100 mm stem. Sound and well made, but scratched on top of the clamp. £5. Sold..

Kalloy 80 mm stem. Understated quality and in good condition. £8 now £6. Sold
Sturmey Archer 90 mm girder type stem. Good condition. £8 now £6.
Blackspire downhill chainring, unused but with storage marks. 46 teeth. Chunkily built but not heavy.** £8**.
