For Sale: Beautiful original Raleigh Gran Tourismo 1963

So, with regret I am having to part with my Raleigh Gran Tourismo dating from 1963

This is very similar to the Raleigh Gran Sport - in fact the frame is the same as the Gran Sport model and the spec was 90% the same.

This was the bike my grandad used to ride (not the same bike, but model) and I spent a good while tracking it down. But now its just gathering dust and the missus wants it out of the bedroom...

Its in stunning condition and I have recently fully serviced it, cleaning and re-packing the bearing in the headset, bottom bracket and hubs. Rides beautifully.

Price is £250 - will post at cost

Here is the breakdown of the build - its mostly original.

• Raleigh Gran Tourismo frame and forks - 21.5" ctc seatube and 21.5" ctc headtube
  The frame has plenty of small chips and rubbing marks - but no dents or dings. High tensile steel - (very similar to 531 apparently, but Raleigh's ownbrand)
  
  

**- GB allrounder bars - in perfect condition

• GB hindiminium stem - lovely condition too
  
• GB sprite brakeset with lovely matching levers (new Velo Orange brake pads)
  
• Raleigh hubs (32/40) on Dunlop Lightweight special rims in amazing condition
  
• Campagnolo Gran Sport rear derailleur in excellent condition
  
• Campagnolo Gran Sport shifter
  
• Raleigh Industries cottered crank set in great condition
  
• Campagnolo Gran sport pedals
  
• Sprung Brooks saddle in lovely condition
  
• Raleigh Industries seat post
  
• Raleigh Industries headest and bottom bracket
  
• Original Brooks saddle bag support
  
• Dunlop road race tyres in excellent condition
  
• Brooks leather bar tape **
  
  

Upgrades:

• Honjo stainless steel fenders
  
• New Velo Orange white cable set
  
  
  

This is a great bike for the money. The geometry looks wicked.
Bump.

Dibs for a very discerning friend!

Can you ship to Moscow (Russia)?

Lovely! Good price too!
Shame you have to sell Joe.
Ride this and feel 'X' amount more cool and classy than you do on your fixie!

Awesome sale, KnowtheJo, thankyou!

My discerning friend and the gran tourismo looked like they were made for each other as they sped off. It's the fastest and most convincing cyclist conversion I've ever seen.

Cheers!
