For Sale Raleigh Corsa and Shimano Golden Arrow road bike build

[t_boda]

Selling something a bit special here.
A 1983 Raleigh Corsa in pearl white with a full Shimano GA groupset and all other bits completely original.
Bought by the original owner brand new in 1983, ridden by his son around the block and stored on the loft since then.
In almost immaculate condition bar a couple of super minor blemishes as would be expected from storage.
Paint is original and as perfect as could be asked for. GS is fantastic, probably as close to NOS as you can get.
I dismantled the entire bike and every component; completely cleaned, degreased and re-assembled using high end Teflon bicycle bearing grease.
I've not got around to doing the wheels yet but these were going to be re-spoked once cleaned up. Original tyres. Original seat/seatpost/handlebars etc.
New Shimano cabling; new Tressostar handlebar cotton tape and thread.
Once re-assembled this will be one of the cleanest and most original Corsas available; museum quality.
I can post detailed photos of everything if required.
Happy to post at cost/insurance/fees.
Collection Poole or thereabouts.
£500ono
Only selling as I'm closing my lockup and have no space left in the flat!
Thanks and ask away with any questions. Tom

We do love lots of pictures. You'll get a much better response too.

Has this been sold?

Has this been sold?

Hi ag124
In these instances where the item was listed for sale a fair while back, in this case about 8 months or so, it would be better to private message the original seller rather than bumping it back to the top of the for sale page, where they will all want it all over again
Good luck with it as you never know, it might still be there.
All the best

Jamie
