Skinny tires. No thanks.

Good morning,

My brother recently bought Planet X Holdsworth Cyclone revival cycle second hand. I couldn't believe it when he said that he bought it . I only told him about it as it looked really smart . It is a lovely bike in damson purple and red with chrome lugs . He gets good comments from riders he meets out on the road . He is also too fast on it ! I can hardly keep up with him .

One of these?


You don't have to have skinny tyres you can fit 700x25

Good morning,

Someone is now selling the complete bikes for £1,250

https://www.thebikefactory.co.uk/sh...aleigh-ti-raleigh-team-replica-101519/option/

Which seems like a pretty good price for any bike today.

Bye

Good morning,

The guy that runs a site dedicated to Raleigh SBDU (https://raleigh-sb4059.com/category/raleigh-frame-numbers/ti40-192/) seems to be selling his frame.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325521167766

As long as you are not expecting a genuine replica, it could be a nice buy. I like mine as I knew what it was when I bought it and I ride it with the expectations that it is a new steel bike with D/T shifters and not a classic.

Ian

Mine, not his.

Too small for me, otherwise I might of been tempted. 🤔

Good evening,

I am worried; I have had a few beers and the auction is ending in a hour or so and the current price is £320.

That seems too cheap, will I end up with another one?

Went for £350, still a bargain but there were a couple of serious chips on the seat tube in an odd area and the cost and hassle of arranging transport of something that I don't actually want!

Bye

I had a look but at 56cm it's top end size-wise. A 53cm and that would have been different.

£350 seemed a fair price imo in the current market.

If had have been a 53 cms I would have been fighting you for it. I have a full super record groupset waiting for it!

Good morning,

The last of the 4 frames have gone from the Graham Weigh/Deeside Olympic ebay page....

But a complete bike is still available brand new at https://www.kenfosterscyclelogic.co.uk/m13b4s6p0/Road-Gravel-Bikes/RALEIGH/Road-Racing reduced to £2k.

Wow, what a disaster from Raleigh's perspective, over two years to shift 250 of something targeted at middle age plus men, many presumably with plenty of disposable income.

There are two for sale at £2,895 on ebay, a 56 and a 59 from someone who appears to have bought them to sell on. They are listed as unused and boxed but the seller doesn't at first glance appear to be a bike shop.

I think they guys who might buy this bike are carefully using there pensions.


The next generation of post mamil riders will be wanting banesto liveried pinerrello bikes!!!

I don't know what all the fuss is about ? It looks just like my BSA TdF !

Good afternoon,

All I needed to do was to wait....... this came up locally;

They are the same, right, it even has mudguards and a period steel chainset.

Bye
