Hi guys, long-time lurker, first-time poster. New projects have forced me to say farewell to old ones:

Old, goldish (70s?) Raleigh-built BSA Tour of Britain frame set + weinmann suicide levers/brakes + dead chain + BB + pedals + cranks + chainrings. Size 56. Can’t say what wheels it takes as I never got round to finding out.

Comes with flaky paint job and a bonus dark-red patina wherever the paint’s missing(!!) This is a real project - lots of rusty/seized parts (especially around the BB, though the pedals and cranks still turn).

I had at one point hoped to restore it just enough to make a beater/something spare for when friends visited from afar. Alas, I had better builds to lend and so this never came to fruition.

Anybody interested? I’d hate to dispose it as scrap but I need it gone fairly quick. Free to a good home and a forum donation if you’re feeling generous. Collect from Oxford Circus / Bond St area (W1).

Dibs + PM please.

Cheers :)

Alex

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.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
