Sure, I'll check for holes in head badge area. I'll also try see what colour is inside frame (head tube or bb) to see if its different. I'll get some pics of the forks dropouts and post them up soon. Thanks

It also has soldered spokes, something they did back then.

Last of the pics. Parts may not be original (if it came as a frame only). Of course bar tape isn't and that'll be coming off soon.

Some more pics

Hi all, I was given a raleigh a couple years ago. I haven't been able to identify the model though. The guy also had a red and black raleigh which I think is the team replica? Anyway, he used to race and TT on these raleighs back in the day. He said this green one came as a frame (iirc) and was...

I am also on the hunt for a Raleigh kajun catalogue piece

Hi all, picked up a Raleigh Kalahari recently. It has a cromo sticker on the frame but all other decals are missing. What would the forks have been made of? Hi ten? Cromo? Tange (unlikely)? Not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet, probably another single speed hack. Thanks

Thank you! Very informative. I now have some pics of all the bits I'm missing on mine. Ta

Hi all, this is my Norman, which has a 1949 3 speed hub, laced to Raleigh westrick rims and Raleigh spokes. I'm guessing the frame is of the same age but can't be sure? It came with non original 2 speed cranks. If anyone would know anything about these bikes, it'd be much appreciated to hear...

I just picked up a Scorpio and despite it being 'gas pipe' (or so people love to point out to me on Facebook) it actually rides really really well. It's probably my favourite bike at the moment! I wonder after all this time how are you getting on with yours? Still got it? Anything to report?

Would you happen to know the head size please? 1" or 1 1/8th? Thanks

What size head are these frames? 1" or 1 1/8th ?

What was the ridgebacks frame and forks made from?

What is the frame made from?

What was the frame made from, and forks please? Can't seem to find it online. Thanks

Hi, I recently picked up an 80s muddy Fox courier. Finally, local (isle of Wight) and in my size! The paintwork is battered. Can anyone tell me what paint it is please? It seems to be white, with a shiny pearl or metallic in it that makes it pop. I have started rubbing it down in places and...

Legrandefromage if you look at the pic of the changers/levers what year would you say it is? Also, the BB sizes you gave me, are they squared taper sealed BBs? Before i order one... Thanks

Also, a quick question... Do you think its better to run old square tapered BBs and cranksets (which are harder to replace these days and take more tools to take on off out in the field) or change to modern, external BBs and either 3 speeds or singles cranks for more availability and less...

2468simon which model marin is that? I have set up a touring bike for road and gravel, a 700c, flat bar, 2010 kona smoke. Now i want to build a retro, off road, camping, touring, bike and bivi steed. Its difficult because i have a 91 saracen sahara elite which is completely original (so it'd...

Ive re-measured...sorry my mistake (ive measured about 8 or 9 of my frames yesterday and got mixed up). 22" from bb to tt. 21"tt length. Im measuring tt between head and seat (not centre of head and centre of seat or anything like that). So an inch difference.
