For Sale: 1970s Raleigh Clubman, 57cm, 531, 12 speed

THIS IS NOW SOLD. Thanks.

A complete bike which I think is from the 1970s, although possibly early 1980s (the 531 decal looks different to most 1980s ones I've seen though). It's in good condition for its age and has a lovely frame.

I bought this on eBay recently, planning to use it myself, but the seller wrongly said it had a 25" frame, when it's actually 22.5". So it's too small for me, and I can't be bothered with packing it up and sending it back to the numpty. So, I thought I'd see if anyone here fancied it.

• 57cm / 22.5" seat tube, c-t
  
• 57cm / 22.5" top tube, c-c
  
• Reynolds 531 butted tubes
  
• 12 speed
  
• Campagnolo front and rear mech, and shifters
  
• Raleigh 610 Weinmann centre-pull brakes
  
• Selle Royal suede-type seat
  
• SR Laprade seat post
  
• Maillard hubs, 27" Weinmann rims
  
• Michelin World Tour tyres (they look barely used)
  
• SR pedals
  
• Lugs for fitting mudguards
  
  

There are a few scratches here and there, inevitably given the age, but generally the frame looks beautiful (see photos). I think these are all the original parts, except probably the tires. I've only ridden it round the block but gears and brakes seem to work OK, although I'm guessing it hasn't been ridden for a long time so could probably use some attention.

One caveat - there's a bit of a rattle from the rear hub, so maybe that could do with looking at.

Otherwise, this looks lovely and I wish I wasn't quite so lanky so that it fit me!

£150, pick up from Barbican or Shoreditch. Any questions, just ask!
