Vintage Raleigh Team Panasonic Racing bike.

Is this genuine or a Raleigh Corsa?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but this is the 'cooking' version of the real Team Panasonic bike which had a 531c frameset and top end components. I found one down here once but the frame was too small for me.

Looks nice, Suntour VX-GT mech, Dia Compe levers, but I think the asking price is optimistic.

If you scroll down a bit on that page you'll another one for two hundred which looks all original and quite good nick.

He's ruined it. Raleigh used to wind their handlebar tape inside to outside.

This is way after my time but is it the Cadet Panasonic cheap copy?

I believe that the Raleigh Cadet didn't have Reynold's 501 Aero tubing, but there seems to have been a lot of Raleigh bikes in Panasonic Colours around 1986.................

Somehow the fact that he's left the handlebars like that for the inordinately expensive ad makes me slightly cross!

Yep a bog standard bike with a 9admittedly factory) paintjob, mudguard eyes on a 'team' bike.

This was in the TdF in 1977 - a bargain at £900

must have been a wet race

A Campagnolo Shimano with touring cantis and rack bosses in the TdF? I smell something..

...and its remarkably like manure from a bull.
