Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

I would expect something on the bottom bracket shell

yeah me too but the previous owner didnt treat it very nicely with a horrible hand painted job and some terrible wheels which i think he must have tried building himself, i had it professional stripped, cleaned and resprayed in a basic red which has lasted so well given its been a real work horse, the only light rust under the top tube came from being on the turbo trainer for the last two years

Its surprisingly light for steel well it feels very light, the seller listed it as 531 but i wonder if is something better, lovely lug work too

Last setup before turbo duties

and in a more retro build

Including a year or so as my single speed hack

A proper HQ has a number under the bottom bracket starting with a Q, but the Q is made from overlapping 0 and 1 stamps. Powdercoat can fill it.

I think there's a decent frame under the powder coat on this number in Bury:

Raleigh Corsa, a bit(!) optimistic at £600 but looks really nice for what it is - original, seemingly great nick with an uncommon-for-Raleigh paint job that's understaded and seems to have aged well...

EDIT: For the record if anyone's arsed, this appears to be a 1984 "Corsa 12" and the colour is "Oyster"
