    Sold 1987 Raleigh Royal 531 Touring bike 54 cm (21")

    And very nice it is, too - arrived this morning and I've already been out on it. It'll get quite a makeover as it's (obviously) quite similar to my Randonneur, so I've already swapped the handlebars (which will go on another bike soon for sale) for some Sakae 'albatross' bars and it rides...

    SBDU Raleigh Maverick Pro

    I suppose it is time I posted a photo. It needs the cables tidying up (need to source some clips) and these SA wheels are a trial to see if the concept works before I get some built up with better rims, spokes and a front brake/dynamo and rear brake/5 (or 8 )speed hubs, but I have to say it...

    SBDU Raleigh Maverick Pro

    Hello. I was the winning bidder, but won't relax completely until it's here. It does look original, and my original plan for a Maverick build was to change it around a lot (a respray and modern-ish SA hub brakes/gears/dynamo) but it looks so good that I don't think I will be changing it. I...

    Sold Forks only from Raleigh Maverick 531

    I thought they probably had but was worth a try. Thanks anyway :) If the new owner doesn't want them anymore, or if anyone else has some, please let me know.
