I have the above bike in a lovely solid green colour and from what I've seen on another thread is about a 1994 version. It has Alivio components in the main. The brakes are Alivio but done in an enamel/ceramic coating. It looks very nice, my question is, is this normal or are they like a special...

There’s a Raleigh Twenty ride from Swindon to Avebury being organised by someone on the RT Facebook page this Saturday. Kingpins, Triumph 20s and similar old 20 inch wheel bike riders welcome. Leaving Swindon Station 1pm ish. View...

I’ve got a child carrying seat , which was on my Boardman bike which I’ve now sold I needed a bike to fit it on as it’s not suitable for a lightweight racer , I decided to use my wife’s Raleigh pioneer which was only used a couple of times when it was first bought in 1999/2000, anyway I pulled...

here’s my latest bike , and it’s going to be a keeper, spread the rear triangle to 130 Super bike to ride.

With thoughts of Paris-Brest-Paris 2019 in mind, although I'd really prefer to ride it on a vintage 1930's-1950's French road bike in period kit, I picked up this Raleigh Twenty today: FE = fully equipped, with Brooks white saddle, twist-grip gear change, kickstand, rubber pedals, lights...

I've restored and regreased my old Raleigh Merlin from around 1985 last year. Now it's going back into semi-active service again in a few months. I noticed a little movement in the bottom bracket, and just put a little more turn on the shell which seemed to help. But when turning by hand there...

Most certainly not for my short legs! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990s-RALEIGH-PRO-RACE-REYNOLDS-501-TUBING-VINTAGE-LUGGED-STEEL-ROAD-BICYCLE/222923974553?hash=item33e74de799:g:Wh8AAOSwGMJa0lPF Good condition and cheap

Hi all, I picked this up from a car-boot last year, it's served me quite well so far. It's missing the front badge but I'm thinking it's probably a Raleigh as has Weinmann Raleigh brakes. Any thoughts please, and a rough year of make? More recent parts maybe, as has S himano front...

Hey guys. My wife has this 3 speed ladies bike. We have no ideas what it’s worth though?

Bought these but only tried them on and too small. Size XL 44 " I'd say more comfortable 42". My beer belly was the stumbling block for me. Please ask any questions £16 posted [postage is roughly £3.00 of that]

Hi Good People. Without going into incredible detail, but some would be nice, could anyone give me an idea what the main differences are between a Raleigh Record, and a Raleigh Record Sprint of the same era. We're talking about 1980 ish. For example, tubing seems to be Reynolds 501 or 531 on the...

FS a couple of Raleigh Voyagers. First is a Voyager LX, hardly used, some storage marks. Rides really nicely. Shimano Tourney 3x7 gearing, SR Suntour chainset, suspension seatpost. £150 Secondly a Raleigh Voyager GLX ebike. Suntour XTC front suspension. Suspension seatpost. Shimano LX...

Raleigh Lenton tourist for sale. I think I researched this to about 1953. Bought as a rainy day project, but there's been hundreds of them since and it's still sat there! Great project for someone as I think it's pretty complete and original. Will need new tyres and tubes no doubt and probably...

Just managed to pick this up on eBay for what feels like a very good price. Same model I had as a schoolboy in the 1980s - I loved that bike and regretted getting rid of it (sadly for a crude, catalogue MTB - the folly of youth). Can't wait to pick it up! Only fault listed is that the seat...

Selling for a friend (in return for a bottle of red - hopefully a decent one) who doesn't do a smartphone, let alone a computer. Bike aquired on Cycle2Work but changed jobs before even turning and tightening the bars, let alone sitting on it. Will add a few 'actual' pics when the rain stops -...

Hi All. After not owning or working on a Raleigh for just on 30 years, like London buses, they are appearing in clumps. My son has partly trashed his 1982 ish Criterium, which I have just about 75% finished sorting out. I sold a hybrid to somebody who, as a result, had a Raleigh Impulse they...

This is being repeated on BBC4 tonight. Tuesday 27th, February, 8:00pm - 9:00pm

On Tuesday at 20:00, linky: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08j8mvl Some of you weird people may be interested ;).

Will the springs pop off dangerously during unassembly of this unit? (I believe a stupid question can save some pain if asked).

Just started resto on my 80's Super Record. Took axle out of front hub and there were no bearings. Nice, must be high tech or plain stupidity. Anyway, I'm looking for the bearing size for this hub. I'm guessing 5/32.

Sold my R20 a couple of years ago and fancy another one again. Nothing too pricey or fancy. Just a basic functioning R20 as I'll do the refurb. Might consider one of the R20 alternatives i.e Hercules Hunter with R20 frame etc. (Not the curved U type frame) Thanks All.

Does anyone own a Raleigh M-Trax road bike? I have one from probably early 90's and have seen one for sale in the past. Every time you talk about M-Trax people talk about mountain bikes. I thought I'd ask if there's any of their road bikes out there still being used? BTW mine is only a 4000R...

Picked this mid 90's Raleigh m-trax 2000 ti . Needs a bit of tlc. After a quick fettle tonight . On inspection it's got limited edition Shimano Parallax hubs laced to a set of Weinmann Bontrager labelled rims . Gearing is Shimano stx apart from the twist grips which are due for...

I'm trying to get an idea about one that's been described to me, that was destined for dumping down the council tip. Not yet seen in the flesh, so no pics. Rigid lugged and brazed frame in "ball-buster" large sizing with high horizontal top tube. Regular unicrown MTB forks. Heron headbadge...

According to an email I received today from Raleigh their most popular bike of 2017 was this, the Stow-e-way: If they are telling the truth it might offer a ray of hope for strapped bike retailers and perhaps a shift in the type of bikes people are buying towards electric...

Has anyone got one of these stashed away in their collections of publicity material? I can only find the 1989 Lightweight Catalogue anywhere online, not the full product range one. The reason I'm interested is I want to find out what the frame geometry is for the Mustang models which date from...

Does anyone know definitively when this style of headbadge started being used, why it appeared and when it stopped being used. I've heard it called a anniversary headbadge with dates ranging from 62-72 and also quoted as being a one year only badge, does anyone actually know the truth? Any...
