Trade: Carlton clubman raleigh road ace whitcomb frames

c. 7 days

trade for whatever............. make me an offer. I don't need any more bikes or money (sorry - a change to this - prices are below now) - t**hey are all in sk6, i'm not able to post right now, so it would be cash / trade on collection **

raleigh and whitcomb are 23 1/2" seat and c. 57cm on top
carlton is 23 1/2" seat and c. 56cm on top
all take 27.2 post and are nominally 126 OLD

the carlton WG9003038 (WG9003039?) is made by raleigh in worksop 1979 (i'm 99% sure it's the same frame as the raleigh competition GS - not to be confused with the lesser gaspipe carlton and raleigh clubmans - and pretty rare - i can't find a pic or mention of another.- it shares a lot in common also with the earlier 80s RRA (the cut lugs and non-scalloped stay tops version) frames ) see spec here

possibly nearer the 79 version actually :

the raleigh is a little longer wheelbase and c. 1984 - worksop again. it's 531c all through - (although i really think these were stickered 531c for a year or two but still made of db)

the whitcomb is 531 db and the same sort of club geo as the others - odd mark in paint, but recent renovation (pretty sure this has had the shifter bosses added on during renovation) and also fairly sure the forks are not original - they fit well, but are not as high quality as the frame - probably just cromo

*scott frame - just tagged on to this listing really :

• perfect condition except the rear rear-brake cable stops is partially broken , this can easily be sorted with full length rear cable or - actually better still - by just using a cable tie to keep the outer cable up against the top tube
  
  

58cm to top c. 54 to center
c. 56/57 on top

342g fork
970g frame *

Nice bike!!

Any update on this?

Yes its still all here.

Good morning,

Is it a Road Ace or Record Ace?

Record - title is wrong.
Record is more sports tourer than racing bike (road ace
)

Thanks, I was confused (nothing unusual in that!)

GLWS

I suppose it's a no for my proposed exchange

Have you still got the raleigh?

And the carlton?

ah you don't want other frames or money...mmm not sure what I can give you then for the Carlton.
Got some phones? Tablet (Nexus 7)? what do you need?

I got a non-531 Carlton and love it, but would love a 531 too.

...

it seems unlikely i'll both shift these and avoid handling money at the same time, so i'll relent and attach some arbitrary numbers,

but - apologies - i am going to have to draw the line at dealing with any delivery services... cash and pickup is preferable.

carlton - 60
rra - 69
witcomb - 89 (apparently less than it cost paint)
scott - 149

more pics http://s1260.photobucket.com/user/yellowsweep/library/ later - frame numbers and such are on there

trades are still good, but only really if they reduce my expected expenditure anyway, these are all going as part of a clearout, more bikes (and bits) in their place is not ideal.

yes the record ace frame was the same for a few years as the classic 12 and classic 15 . - different finish and parts, same frame.

this is my own classic 12/15 - repainted - but shows exactly how the RRA will build up :

still have an RRA in 25" to suit 6' or more - 50 gbp: see the pic of that on the photobucket link (with black chainstays )

Still up for the Witcomb, happy with the money, need to come up with a plot for collection.

Might be interested in this one...
Don't get up to manchester very often though..

Dibs on the Raleigh, PM sent

no the carlton no :( who is the lucky one?

there's two raleigh's going now, so let me know which one is dibbed (though i'd rather sell to anyone who comes first)

the larger one has black on the stays and bridge just to cover paint chips - to keep frame from the elements. and the post is not seized - in fact i'm not sure where it is now.

• just reminded me , i have one more frame here. i had it here on another thread but 'll just tack it on here to see if i can shift before i'm biting the bullet and ebaying- last chance 39gbp .

• it's apparently a 753 'columbia' - (though it looks very like a high end raleigh) , the lugs on forks say dawes so these may not be original , - this was to be a racer for me until i got given a newer scandium / carbon frame . 58cm , good 600 headset and a good BB
