It's a shame that SBDU Raleigh frame doesn't have an SBDU frame number on it.

I wonder if that Raleigh is really a SPD bike? Not sure what numbering system they used as it's not really my era..

Special Products Division from the 90s is unfortunately nothing like the Specialist Bicycle Development Unit. It was an umbrella term under which any of their "better quality" frames were made, including the dynatech bikes, reynolds-framed tourers from Touriste to Randonneur and the high end MTBs. Nice, but not sbdu nice

I get from holiday to find that you are trying to kill me with a bonded aluminium and steel frame from the 80s. I'm interested!

The bond is strong in this one! I love the subtle semantic difference between "bonded" (good) and "glued" (not so good). 50 spuds is not a lot of money. It would be quite ironic if the epoxy becomes unsticky with age, given what old grease does

Have we had this 1950's Claud Butler track bike? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-C...-track-bicycle-1950s-chater-lea-/122370605079

Too big for me:

Needs to be someone more like the RH picture. I'm more like the LH one:

Can't make up my mind about that woodrup, long dropouts and over bb cables but Allen key brakes and a very modern Reynolds decal.

Not too bad, but best of all I got back and tinkered with the Dawes, a few purchases required and some thinking to do.
