Raleigh Record Sprint frame, forks, headset, handlebars etc, campagnolo Mirage crankset, Selle italie saddle (knackered)
Frame measures 53/54cm from bb to top of seat tube (crudely measured with a 30cm ruler so can't guaruntee but should be accurate within 1 cm either way)
501 reynolds, but fairly lightweight in spite of that, and plenty of length in the dropouts.
All in decent condition, there are a few off ships to the paint from London's shitty gravel strewn roads but nothing major, there seem to have been a couple of minor touch ups from before I owned it. About half of the decals have rubbed/scuffed off during use, but the nice spaceship one is there along with the 501 sticker.
The bb decided to unscrew itself whilst I was riding one day, so I switched over to my other bike for commuting, probably nothing major but it has been sitting around waiting for me to have enough time to sit down with it, but I have now moved to a new place without a bike shed, so I can't store the bike anymore( girlfriend doesn't want several unused bikes in our doorway!)
Red gel saddle selle italia but the front edge of the fabric has lifted off the front of the saddle due to the friction created by my titanic testicles galloping across the seams.
headset is fine, dunno stem brand (seems to say theht on it...) and riser handlebars have a mild backsweep.
Campagnolo Mirage crankset is scuffed but functions great.
Anything else you wanna know or I missed just ask.
Note! tektro levers in the pictures are gone as scavenged for another bike.
was riding single speed but still has brazings and shit for derailers and whatnot£40 from North London

There is also a set of knackered rusty and just downright shit 27 wheels leftover from an old project, anyone is welcome to come and have them for free, they will be scrapped otherwise as are pretty fucked, you can see more snaps of them on the photobucket link.
Has a cassete from a sachs huret i think.
Wordy I know, but my fingers are overtired innit
PM if interested in anything :D

Had my bike knicked, locked to a gate inside a gated private compound in Canning Town, unfortunately I was stupid enough not to write any of my serial codes or id the bik somehow, never got it back. To this day I still think my only hope is to come across them on my bike and undertake a diving saddle to saddle tackle!

I had the joy of some dumbass cyclist shooting through a red light while I crossed the junction at 1 in the morning, I had to swerve out the way and my front tire exploded and I went flying, dude didn't even stop!
To make matters worse it's probably the first day I have ever not had spare tube/punc repair in my bag. Did get offered £150 for a stranger to suck MY cock on my walk home though...
Frame sold
anyone who can be arsed to take the wheels (for decorations only, albeit a decoration that will stain your walls with rust) they are still here, in all their buckled 27" glory.
Feel bad in leaving them for the rubbish in case some poor sod takes them for their bike only for the spokes to explode into thousands of tetanus laden splinters as soon as they sit down!
