raleigh

i was given this nice bottle today. Will look nice on one of my bikes.

I have an old Raleigh Ascender, from 1993. How hard and expensive would changing the gears be for a novice? found this run down of the bike specs online http://www.ply.me.uk/bits_and_pieces/bike.html would it be possible to go from the current 15 gears to 27 with nice low gears to help with...

So, I was going to link this into the 'for sale elsewhere' thread (mods - feel free to do so if you prefer) but thought it's a bit special and warranted some more attention. The widow of Alan Oakley, head of design at Raleigh, has put up an archive of blueprints, documents and some rather nice...

Morning all, Picked up this yesterday:smile: Looks very original, I looked up the spec from the 60's and this seems to have the lot (Campag everything, GB Courier 66 brakes, Superhood Rapide levers). Missing a decent saddle so I've put an old one on for now, and the seat post needs looking...

Not sure if this post is in the correct place but we are talking Mavic SUP rims on my Look so l guess it may be ok in the vintage section. Anyway here goes, this morning when l got the bike out ready for a ride l found the front tire to be completely flat :sad: This afternoon l thought ok l will...

One of my favourite colour schemes the red and white Raleigh Sirocco with golden arrow gearing components to boot. Nice and original and not to bad condition either . Again Reynolds 501 tubing .

I've got an old Raleigh Shopper, on which one of the pedals sounds quite dry when I spin it. I'd like to grease it but I don't see any outside cap on the spindle which I could prise off or unscrew to get access to a nut for further dismantling. Can anyone please suggest a method?

Front and rear Raleigh /Weinman 610 centre pull brake calipers plus f+r cable hangers c1976 , price includes postage.

Under orders to have a clearout so I have dropped the asking price!! Now that I have cleaned it up, checked it over and made sure all is working well I have to sell this bike as I need the room. Originally my late wifes, it is around 20 years old but is in remarkably good condition for its age...

I did a 100 mile run in the highlands , & various shorter runs , some on poor surfaces, & the bikes not put a foot wrong, so far the repairs seem to hold fast, I’m glad that I’ve managed to bring back a super frame to working condition,& saved it from the skip. Here’s to more happy day on the bike!

Not sure if this bike qualifies as a Vintage or Classic but I will ask anyway....... I am preparing for sale my late wifes Raleigh Siren. It is a 'Series 1', is equipped with Shimano 7-speed SIS triple ring and Suntour front suspension. Is it possible to date the bike from its serial number...

Hello all, I've just bought a Raleigh Pioneer 140 on eBay; it seems like a good buy, cost me £40. The advert states 2 flat tires and that the brakes need adjusting, otherwise very good condition. I've got plenty of odds and sods in the garage if bits need replacing including tires and tubes...

http://www.cyclist.co.uk/news/5147/raleigh-releases-special-edition-burner-bmx-and-super-cool-balance-bikes-for-35th Oh the memories I had one, got it one Christmas it was 2rd hand. But I did not care loved that bike. Had some right old fun with it. Should I try it again 2rd time round...

This is a bike I was given as it had been locked away in a container in a yard for over 20 yrs. Stripped and rebuilt. Photo being sent to friend who gave it to me. Add it to my collection.

Raleigh 531 Granada. These are the words that drew my attention to this cycle advertised on a well known auction site. Well, along with the low price and the colour, what looked like Kingfisher blue. I am a sucker for pretty colours. I put it on my watch list whilst I thought of reasons why I...

made a start to repair a frame I got for next to nothing, it’s got a hairline crack on the lower part of the head tube & also the dimple on the chain stay, I know that this repair may not last or even be ok but I’ll give it a try, if it’s not road worthy I can use it on the turbo trainer, I’ve...

I bought this raleigh today. Great condition but completely d's stickers. It looks like a dynatech to me nut in a colour combo I've never seen before

Bought some time ago but finally collected today this is a vintage Raleigh Sports with 3-speed Sturmey Archer gears and what appears to be a front dynamo wheel. Took it for an initial test ride and despite the weight it rides well. The wheels need a decent spoke tightening and truing plus new...

For sale is a Raleigh Record Sprint in original condition. This has some minor marks in line with age and use but in very good clean condition. Not the usual rusty bikes you find. Frame size is 60cm. Reynolds 501 tubing. Please see pictures for condition. £125.00. SOLD. Any questions please ask...

I have a 1990s Raleigh eclipse that needs a new home. It came with another bike I had been given for my son, the deal was I had to take them both as they needed the space. It's had an easy life as far as mileage but has a few marks and scratches. The indexing on the gears needs sorting bit apart...

Hi I’m looking for a big 531 or any similar type forks, for my 64cm Raleigh 531c race, looks like I need forks with at least over 250mm steering tube, Thanks

Popped in to Sudbury Hall (Derbyshire) on the way to an open farm day and Raleigh had organised a funday. Few hand bikes and trikes to try and a few classic Raleighs including these 3.... From the top an original 80's Burner A special edition gold chopper from 1976/77 And the bottom is a...

I have a 1984 Raleigh Record Ace; it beeds a new bottom bracket. Is one of the threads in the shell a left hand thread and if so, which one? I have a new component on order but before I damage something removing the old one, it would be useful to know the answer. Thanking all in advance.

just received 2 80s frames today, my idea is to fix them up to use if not on the road , I can use them for turbo training , I got them for just over a fiver, there’s a crack on both head tubes so in time I’ll try to drill both ends of the cracks & sliver braze them, it’s worth a try for only a...
