It came with the original Reynolds alloy very long seat post, and I've collected a few bits so far, including some Reynolds alloy Pelissier Handlebars and A rare 1950's Sturmey AC close ratio hub.

This frame has pretty much all the braze on's it could, including brake cable clips, lamp and mudguard mounts, chain hanger and fittings for the special RRA saddle bag support (There was one of these on ebay last week that I was going to bid on, but it went for over £200!)

I managed to get some idea of the original paint though-looks to have been a dark raleigh green enamel, as mentioned in the original catalogue:

IT's been painted with a horrible thick yellow paint. I tried to strip it gently to reveal the original paint etc but it was nigh on impossible, so it'll have to go for re-enamalling somewhere soon.

As a Nottingham born boy, I've always had a certain love for Raleigh, and for the last few years have promised my self I'd one day get a post war RRA, the pinnacle of Raleigh bikes (prior to G.O.D at least. )

Well, as look would have it, about 3 months ago I spied a poorly listed and badly photographed one going cheap on ebay, in a rather sorry state in Oxford,, with horrible paint and a jumble of parts.

IT's been hanging around in the storage space for about 3 months as I finish other things, but now it's time as come.

I've stripped most of the jumble of crappy old parts (some of which is on sale here now-nothing special though I'm afraid.), and collected a few bits so far.

The f & F with original RRA head clip:

3.Shimano Spd pedals. call it a £5.

1. Road Bars, think they're steel but unsure. Unbranded. Again, unsure of measurements exactly. Can measure if you like
   
   

£10

Few cheap bits for sale. Unwanted stuff.

SR Stem, can't remember how long but picture should give you some idea.

£6.50

Still here and still too big so Back up for sale now with a chain just needs saddle. £410.
If you don't want either stem and/or bars as they are shimmed price can be adjusted accordingly.

I would consider splitting this if someone takes the frame.
Also, needs re-bar taping as I unwound this to fit the shim.

Morning price drop bump. Now £410.

OK, no interest, so Impatient saturday evening price drop to £430

After much um-ing and ah-ing and one nearly attempt, I decided to finally sell my Lovely 60's Viking Road Track, as it's too big.I build this up about 4 years ago and have loved it since, but it is time to let it go to a new Home.

A few scratches to lacquer but noting series. One of the mudguard eyes has a broken of screw stuck in it but I'm sure it could be got out with some patience (i can try if you like ) or failing that carefully drilled out.

I looking for £410 pounds minus the saddle. (I have a black non period brooks you can have for an additional £15 pounds if you like)

After much um-ing and ah-ing and one nearly attempt, I decided to finally sell my Lovely 60's Viking Road Track, as I need the (probably a huge amount of) funds to build up a late 40's Raleigh Record Ace RRA I got cheap. I build this up about 4 years ago and have loved it since, but it is time to let it go to a new Home.

A few scratches to lacquer but noting series. One of the mudguard eyes has a broken of screw stuck in it but I'm sure it could be got out with some patience (i can try if you like ) or failing that carefully drilled out.

I looking for £450 pounds minus the saddle and chain. (I have a black non period brooks you can have for an additional £15 pounds if you like)
