For Sale: 1980s Raleigh Converted To SS

Hey all, considering selling my beloved 1980s Raleigh conversion to raise funds towards an off the peg.

Not a clue to value so any offers considered?

Seat Tube 54cm CTC, 501 steel frame in a dark blue with a slight purple tinge to it - lovely colour but has suffered scratches you would expect with age.

Running free wheel 42/16 currently with SPDs fitted, recently NOS chrome forks fitted and bran new Tiagra breaks (front and back). Also comes with Charge spoon saddle and charge bar tape.

In need of a bit of TLC also needs a new headset (£15-20) but currently roadworthy with Schwalbe Stelvio (white striped) front and back less than six months old. Regina wheels front and back - old but in pretty good nick and strong as hell! Solid rear axel, quick release on the front.

This was my first SS and has done me proud, I have found it quick and resilient to London roads and it has absorbed a few 50 mile rides without difficulty, was always a little too big for me, would suit someone 5'7'' - 6' I guess and would make a great first time singlespeed / winter project / hack type anything.

Sorry about the poor picture, will add more as soon as possible.

This picture is particularly useful:

Jokes aside, ive been after a 54cm frame. Might consider a whole bike if its cheap.

Would you sell without the wheels?

Hopefully this is bigger than the above 'thumb nail'!!!

Oh god...don't ask stupid people difficult questions ha ha...its freewheel and has SR stamped on it...hope that means something to you.

no it doesn't i'm afraid,

and i just meant what type of hub as in freewheel, track etc...
I think this is more a case of stupid people asking difficult questions

Ha ha...no problem Cohen...definitely free-wheel...you interested?

sorry but no... good luck though!

£180 ono?

between 160 and 180 is perfectly reasonable value for a bike like that.

very interested - just wondering what size the handle bar clamp is???

Thanks edscoble...

The current bars are old type oversized (SR Road Champions)...so i think 26mm(ish) not sure tho - doesnt say / stamped.

thanks for the reply,

very tempted.... would you take £150 and a quick sell, could do tomorrow for example???

Yes I would, but no lower, that's the minimum I need to purchase the new Touché I'm hankering after. I will PM you my mobile number.
