eBay and Craigslist finds

More trouble than they're worth..

The top one isn't really 'rare', there are lots of Raleigh racers around. LOTS. Wheel size 26.125 (?), you might find trouble finding tyres but I am not sure ..

I'd say £30-40 for the top one, maybe double for the bottom one (mainly cos its fixed) (£$€)

A very nice Raleigh track frame up now.
But £650 seems a lot of cash for it, no?

you'll get outbid. Otherwise it's a pretty fair price.

What did you bid DB? My bro would like this

£650 for frame and forks - that is steep

TobyOneKanobe What did you bid DB? My bro would like this

£181

Jos, i'd be happy to pay that, but with 4 complete bikes, my 1950 holdsworth track frame at mercian getting resprayed + a lot of vintage parts for that, 1 track frame on it's way + full campag groupset and then another mercian i'm building up for someone + plus bits for that. i gotta call it quits at some point.

i'd say!!!!! :) OK, i'll put an offer in over yours but it's a nice bike, it will prolly go over that i reckon.... fingers crossed!

well, thats what i thought, but with 9h left you would of thought there to be a bid or two. maybe the 27" wheels are putting people off.

Can anyone recommend me some ebay sniping software? Missed out again last night due to a crashing internet cafe pc and someone bidding 10p more than me in the last two minutes. Grrr.

i don't use sniping software, just bid as much as you think is fair and if you get out-bid cop it on the chin. plenty more crap in the sea!

Yup, very true. And I've just found a better / more suitable frame, the one last night was a complete bike and that's never quite so much fun. However booze + ebay = bad things. I don't even *remember *bidding on this but apparently I did. it should come with glo sticks.

Ha! That raleigh keeps doing the rounds... one day he might sell it. I offered him £350 for it, but he say 'no'.

I should sell mine now if people are paying £650 for a frameset!!! Fkn hell!! :D

Are you sure it's the same one? Hilary Stone bought the one that started at £500 and was around £330 BIN. It was in far worse condition than this one.

Why don;t you see if dogs wins it and then buy it from him, instead of outbidding him?

That's a very good point..... but, what if i don't bid and someone else does and they win it for £182? I'd pay over that for it i think as it's quite a nice bike..... can't DB retract, or is it too late?

dogsballs well, thats what i thought, but with 9h left you would of thought there to be a bid or two. maybe the 27" wheels are putting people off.

would that really put people off? It's only what, 4-5mm difference to slap 700's on it, isn't it?

The last time the Raleigh appeared on eBay:

It makes you wonder.

It makes me wonder if the dude will succeed in selling the frame alone for what he paid for the whole bike.
The guy I bought mine off bought a condor.. hehe.. sucker. :)

for most people getting 27" tyres is hard. also seems this past week a few things have gone for low prices, must be the holidays. doesn't bother me. i would retract if there was a mistake or something, but with no reason opens a can of worms and don't want it to go on my feedback thing.

Poor Raleigh... it just wants to be loved... not shipped around the country for profit...
