I have just bought a raleigh phoenix in really good condition frame wise, it has a 12 speed set up...(may need new wheels any ideas?)

It is missing a seatpost and seat...anyone know where i can get a seatpost to fit, preferably one wthat i can fit a new style seat to? thanks

Any (good) local bike shop should carry a range of seatposts. I'd imagine it'll be 27.2 diammeter, but then Raleigh did tend to use different sizes every now again. A local bike shop should have a set of calipers to measure the diammeter (if you don't have any). Saddle clamps are pretty standard, so you shouldn't have issues getting a saddle to fit the post.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
