For Sale: 1982 Raleigh Competition Frame 59cm/23" ctc + Stem + Post + Charge Flat Bars + Brakes

Offering up my beloved commuter frame and parts.

The frame is a 1982 Raleigh Competition in 531 db, beautiful original pearlescent blue paint. Original headset in excellent condition, serviced and moving perfectly.

Paint has lots of little nicks and marks on inspection but looks very good overall. Nice, light, true and ding free frame. Measures 59cm ctc by 56.5 ctc.

Including:

• Black 110m stem in good condition, couple of nicks
  
• 47cm Charge Straw flat handle bars in pristine condition
  
• SR seatpost and beater saddle, well used but going strong!
  
• Original Weinmann 610 Centre Pull brakes (with newish cable cradles and cross wires)
  
• Barely used Koolstop Salmon blocks (brakes are fiddley to setup but I found them very effective in all weathers combined with these blocks)
  
  

n.b Only thing missing is a seatpost clamp bolt, I was using a secure skewer which is now on my other bike, suitable bolt easily sourced from the LBS.

Can be viewed/collected from Kentish Town office hours or Tower Bridge evenings/weekends. PM to arrange.

Thanks for looking!

Interesting...would be a nice swap for the Hight Tensile frame I have (the Carlton Professional)...but I feel bad in taking the pieces from that bike! :(

I might be interested in part ex for a larger frame even if it was hi-ten. I could do with a 'station bike' but this is a far to lovely a frame to leave rusting outside the station.

Post up your link :)

You can see my Carlton here:

But I think it's small for you.

I only know it's 55cm ctc (If I remember correctly), the seat tube . Suits me very well (I'm 177cm tall give or take).

Just re-measured: 57cm toptube ctc, 55cm seattube ctc

Ahh that's a lovely looking ride. Shame it's too small for me, at 6.5, even the 23" is on the cramped side so I'd be looking for 24-25" 'beater' trade.

Yeah I know :)
I might be putting my frame up for sale and get this...but not sure...it's a hassle

And yes. It is a lovely ride, thanks :)

I do have a Guerciotti frame your size though :)
I just measured it and realized it's too big for me:

57cm seattube.

but don't have the forks.
I got some forks (and ALAN frame) from a nice dude here, but I forgot to measure the head tube and it looks the new forks are cut too short (ok for the smaller ALAN frame though which has a crack on the head tube top lug), so those won't fit the Guerciotti one sadly.

But, forget everything... your frame is still too big for me :) I guess it's time I go to bed as my brain is not functioning well.
