52/48/36? What's that all about?

half step plus granny-ish? 36t is pretty high for a 3rd chainring I'll grant you

Didn't the 725ti have titanium main tubes?

Yes, hence the "paint rubbed off and polished"
My sister lives about 20 minutes away from ballymena but she'd never agree to bring it over (extra luggage on ryanair!), besides she's over here at the mo

sorry for late reply but yes far as i know main tubes where industrial titanium not quality cycle titanium and bonded onto steel lugs not welded like morden titanium bikes and have been known to unbond, tbh not a great frame but quite rare and could be well worth a long drive, all i will say is another update due within 24 hours.

well quick update, thanks mikeymusterd for the post or i would not have seen this one, bike now has new home in bangor, needs some tyres,cables, bar tape and both shifters sorted etc well worth the 90 mile round trip.

the paint not to my taste but no big deflects etc so may keep as is,lol, only problem is i seem to be building up my fleet again.

Glad you could take advantage of it, I think you got a very nice bike there. Short of having to go visit my sister and riding back home to Cheltenham there was no way it was gonna be mine

Happy memories, I had one of those in the mid 1980s, Mine was mist green, it was a young teenagers ticket to freedom, school, paper round, weekends away, even some light touring in France. A bit of TLC and someone will have a nice, reliable day in day out ride.

Look, I may be a soft southerner, but I know where Lancashire is - it's somewhere just north of Watford innit?

That wasn't the bike I was looking at, no idea how I managed to link a different bike straight from an email link!

There's a Raleigh Kellogs Pro Tour with Reynolds 501 in my Home town for £60 in good condition. (25inch)

I already have a 501 tubed Raleigh Record Sprint, they're a good(ish) frame, especially for larger blokes, but I don't need another.
