Dirt Disciple
I realize that the audience on this website is mainly UK but I do see a few USA posters so just in case anyone in California is looking for a nice Raleigh 653 Race bike. Looking for $300 USD.
The bike was my race bike up until 1998 and has been barely used since. I won a few races on this bike with its last win in 1998 at a criterium in Fremont. The frame was repaired under warranty about 25 years ago by Raleigh when a crack appeared on the non drive side chain stay (a common problem at the time).
Condition is pretty much as you would expect for a bike nearly 30 years old. Quite a few minor scratches but nothing major. I think it is good for the price. Rides lovely.
For this price it isnt really worth shipping so looking for a local pickup
Frame: Reynolds 653
Brakes : Shimano 600
Chainset : Shimano Sante - Got rid of horrible Bio Pace Rings
Rear Mech : Shimano 600
Front Mech : Dura Ace
Seatpost: Campagnolo
Saddle : Flite Titanium
Bars/Stem : Cinelli 65, Cineli 1R
Rims : Mavic Open 4 CD
Hubs : Mavic
Freewheel : Dura Ace
Pedals : Shimano SPD SL or Crank Brothers up to the buyer which you would prefer.
