I have a 1952 Raleigh Lenton on ebay, I would put a link to it but don't know how. I have owned it for 3-4 years and it is very original, please have a look if you're interested, cash on colection from Lancaster.
From spending most of her life in the back of a shipping container to how she looks today, I'm quite please with the end result. Anyone who can give me pointers as to how much to sell for I'd be greatfull. I'm thinking £150
A picked up a '70s Raleigh Merlin for 20 quid a couple of months ago with a view to making a 'popping down the shop bike'.
It was stripped for paint, I didn't go too mad with prep, just enough. Rattle can paint job and a bit of lug lining then put it back together.
I had some North Road handle...
I have recently acquired this Raleigh Chiltern ladies bike - I paid £40 for it (probably the going rate as it's not a collectible I would imagine like a Holdsworth) - an impulse buy because it's in such good condition for the year - not mint, but good nonetheless ....
Can I have your assessment...

I've noticed the pedals are a bit wobbly so thought I'd replace/repack the bearings. How do i get into them. The end cap doesn't look like it comes off.
I’m struggling to see the tyre size due to the walls which have all but crumbled away 😂 I think I can see 700 x 28 but not sure Can anyone confirm. Frame size is23.5”
Same problem as the last bike don't have the free hub removal tool. On the free hub it says Sachs Mailard Made in France and I counted 24 slots. Had a quick look online but nothing obvious. Can anybody tell me what I need to be looking for. Thanks
I’m looking for help on my Raleigh Pioneer 2. I bought it 6 months ago intending to cycle camp, but at 6 foot I need to be 2 inches shorter for that to work, so it has to go. Pity because it’s a cracking bike. Here are some codes I’ve taken off the machine. What attracted me about the bike...
Hi all
I'd be grateful for some opinions please before I finally commit to the purchase for my wife. Because of a leg weakness on one side she is unable now to cycle more than 4-5 miles comfortably, but in general the upright position is comfortable..it's just the leg. I ride my Bianchi...
Well she's finished. Quite pleased with the end result for a first resto. Learned lots. Need to make proper space in the garage always seemed to be working in a mess. Have the basic tools so need to build on them now. Constructive comments welcome.
I'm renovating a 80s/early 90s Raleigh and I can't find the correct cassette socket. Can anyone give me a clue. The pic is the one I have with the measurements across the splines and it's to big

I'm afraid the Record Ace frame has to go - it was a brilliant project through lockdown last summer and you can see the build thread here which gives a good idea of where it came from and what it has been through. It has been replaced so offering for £60 posted or slightly less for local pickup...
Picked this up off FB Market place for £25.This will be my first project/rebuild. I want to use this bike as a learning process. I think it's mid 80s can't find a s/n so I don't expect to make money. Can the experienced members tell me what a not standard on the bike, also the left fork legs is...
Having picked up a Raleigh Strada on Sunday, which was described as for parts and if not sold to be in a skip (which was outside the house) I've been surprised how original it was. The bike's got every original part bar the saddle, it's all working well and the only thing wrong was...
I recently sold my '96 Marin Bear Valley mountain Bike. Much as I liked it my back was suffering even with a shorter stem. So I decided I needed something a bit more sensible.
The good lady was away visiting family and I was home alone with a bottle of red and the internet (a dangerous...

I am restoring my 1990s Raleigh Pioneer. Unfortunately the bearing housing on the forks is completely shot. I have seen a few on ebay but would like to know if there are any other channels I can try or an alternative fork that would fit. Thanks
Just a photo of my three speed Hercules (really a Raleigh) I am always amazed how brilliantly it shines in the sun, yet put it in a building and it disappears into the wallpaper, Raleigh certainly did a fine job with the paint work on these and it's a joy to ride too.
Yeah - so does everyone else!
Well you don't get if you don't ask!
I rarely visit the forum but was reading through tonight and missed a lovely 753 Raleigh. I'd love one! Even better if it was my size and I could ride it!
I ride a 57cm but could go up to 59 and down to 55.
