Itching to get back on my bike's
- Location
- Northamptonshire
Just finished overhauling this 1980's bike so it is ready to set of on a new life and owner .
Its a 23 3/4" or 59cm sized REYNOLDS 531 frame from centre of crank to centre of seat pinch bolt and 22 " or 56cm along the top tube ctc with a stand over height of 33 1/4" or 88 .5 cm . Frame number is WF000038
Finished in original pale blue paintwork with quite a bit of age related patina as can be seen in pics , there is also a very small dent in the drive side rear stay where an old Lucas light was clamped .
Fitted with the following new components less than 50 miles ago , cartridge bottom bracket , Shimano MF tz21 7 speed rear block , Chain , Vittorio Zaffiro 700 x 23c tyres , gear and brake cables both inner and outer and rear brake pads .
Whilst both wheels hubs and headset bearings were stripped and re packed with fresh grease . Fitted with a more modern period Stronglight double crankset giving 14 speeds , Raleigh branded and original fr & rr mechanisms with suntour power shifters .
Wheels are unmatched with the fr being an annodized Mavic Ma40 laced with stainless spokes on to A Shimano 105 hub fitted with quick release whilst the rear is an Alesa black rim laced with galvanized spokes on to a Sachs black bodied hub again with quick release .
Original 110 cm Raleigh branded stem fitted with original 40cm wide drops fitted with original screw on Wienmann lever and original gunwall hoods that are badly cracked but in place .
Original Weinmann 600 side pull calipeprs fr & rr take care of the stopping . SR Laprade semi fluted alloy seat post with micro adjustment fitted with a Grisley saddle .
All in all a nice rady to go vintage racing bike ideal for L'eroica 2015
Asking £175 and available to collect from Wellingborough NN8 postcode or could be posted to most uk postcodes for an extra £25
