For Sale Raleigh Cadet - Single Speed

[Mace-The-Amazing]

Raleigh Cadet - COMPLETE BIKE.

*NOTE* - Needs a tensioner for single speed, as my current one made the chain slip, but can be resolved if you get the right tensioner.

Turbo saddle, never used. Wheels and tyres are brand new. I only rode the bike once, and never again due to chain issues.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY from - Kettering, Northamptonshire.

Some light rust spots, but nothing major.

£125, no offers.

Please text me on 0 7 9 2 8 9 4 7 0 4 2 if interested - Alex.

Hmmm - braze on for absent front changer. Could be a sign of quality. What's the tubing?

It says "Aerospace Contour." I can't see anything else on the frame.

 

[chickendrumsticks]

OK thanks. My guess it's 18/30 hi tensile. Any thoughts anyone else?

Thanks for the info. I'd assume it may not be a Cadet, and another model from what you're saying? I bought it from eBay last year, and that's what it was listed as.

I think 18-23 high tensile, most that turn up seem to be. Some of them were Reynolds 501 (I have one).

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Duh! 18-23 of course... I still wonder if the FD braze on indicates a better tubing. Any clue in the "Aerospace Tubing" label?
(questions, questions, always the questions!)

From what I've seen these (and others in the range) were specified with a brazed on fd mount.
