For Sale: 1975 Raleigh Super Course MkII Mixte 531 frame

I think it must be the day for posting up Mixtes! I have an original 1975 Raleigh for sale which you can either ride as is or would make a great basis for a SS or fixed project. Here's the info I have on the bike:

Raleigh Super Course Mixte Mk II in original used condition
Frame: Frame number wm5003739
Size: Top of seat post to centre of crank = 50cm - down tube 56cm
Date: 1975 (see Sheldon Brown Web site)
Drive: Nervar Sport crank / Huret front an rear derailleurs / Suntour Shifters 10 Speed
Frame Material: Reynolds 531
Brakes: Weinmann centre pull
Wheels/tyres: not sure of make but 27"/1 1/4 - Michelin tyres
Accessories: look like original guards (not currently fitted) and have just put a Pletscher rear rack on it

Paint: in original condition - Emerald green/white
Flaws: Couple of minor dings in the frame (not noticable)
Condition: perfectly useable condition (used this week) and ready to go
Reason for selling: was going to sympathetically restore/uprate but have found and bought my perfect reconditioned Gazelle Mixte (to match my Champion Mondial)

Will try to upload photos - it's in used condition so apologies for any sand/dirt shown on it. If you need any more information please let me know.

I was hoping to get £150 or thereabouts for it (what I'm in it for) but I'm realistic and have another bike on it's way so I'm open to offers.

I am in Surrey (but work West of London so could possibly work something out) so if you need delivery then any price will be + postage.

Thanks for looking.

Hi all. Another couple of photos. I have more but am having a few difficulties uploading.

Re the seat, I'm not a Brooks specialist) but I wonder if it has a Brooks or replica Brooks on it? Very comfortable.

Sizing wise I think this would suit anyone from 5ft 3 upwards - very comfortable and ready to go. With the 531 frame, surely this is a great contender for a project....

Hi Raith. Thanks for your enquiry. To be honest I'm not savvy enough to strip a bike lacking both experience and time. I was hoping to sell the bike complete. If it still appeals, you could try a reasonable offer for the whole bike...

Thanks for posting the link. Don't they look terrific? I was tempted to put drops on mine (I have spares but not sure if they will fit) but I figured I didn't need another road bike and like it with the flats.
