Just bought this off eBay, graham weigh 653 with camp group, sti’s, Mavic wheels, great price, woohoo! Looks like late 90’s. I haven’t collected it yet so dunno the frame number. The bar tapes look the sh1ts, so what’s the most appropriate stuff to use? I was thinking white, cream or silver, to...

Humans have been around for a few hundred thousand years, and the bike was only invented 202 years ago? Just think of all the amazing inventive engineering minds of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, who all had the technology of metal frames, wheels, chariots, gears and pulleys, and not...

I bought a 22.5” 531 Raleigh rapide frame a few years ago, it came with chrome forks, original bars and stem and was £30 lol! I built it up and the forks make the ride way too harsh, they are 1980’s Sintema chrome close clearance and totally rigid. They only just accommodate 700 x 23c. Also the...

Braze-on, shimano 105, 600 or similar?

Looking for kelloggs tour of britain, and team raleigh panasonic bottles. Pm me if you have either of these for sale.

I recently bought a 1984 raleigh competion frame/forks, which came with the original suntour cyclone M2 mechs. I thought i'd have a stab at setting it up with a 7 speed shimano (NOS dura ace 7400) freewheel with 105 index shifters, took a while to set it up on the bike trainer (no cable adjuster...

I have a raleigh centenary ltd edition with the gold plated frame. I bought it about 5 years ago, it was already rusty in several places between the gold plating and the laquer when i bought it. Now the corrosion is getting worse, and its hard to treat because the rust has thick laquer over it...

Looking for something like a shimano biopace exage 300EX 52/42 chainset to fit a 1980's raleigh 501/531 frame. It must be 2-tone (black/silver, white/silver or grey/silver), must have 170 or 175mm cranks, large ring must be 52T but not too bothered about size of smaller ring. Must be in good...

As above, its for a 1980's sr leprade seatpost, as fitted to raleigh racers. I know its a long shot, but i've lost mine and thought it was worth an ask!

I have a raleigh ascender from the early 90's, i found that alot of the original parts (bars, wheels etc) were very heavy so i replaced them with more modern stuff and got the weight of the bike down from 16.5kg to 13.5kg! Theres a few other bits i'm wondering if they are worth changing to...

I bought a 700c wheelset from america a few years ago (sunrims) and the wheels have only done about 1000 miles, now every time i ride the bike (average 5mile rides) it snaps a spoke. The spokes are stainless, i dont remember the brand name. I never bounce up/down kerbs, and always check tyre...

Ideally in gum/silver, but any colour would be fine. Its the standard SCR5 levers that i want (not the compact version)

I have a groupset of sturdy old raleigh weinmann custom shimano sachs hurrett etc (i know its bulletproof from rough urban biking BITD), and i've just got a 22" R531 frame very cheap (from a 83 raleigh rapide). I've also got kenda cx 700c tyres & tubes new ready to fit (clearance looks ok)...

How do i remove this, its from a late 80's raleigh? None of the tools i have fit into the splines, and having a non-quick release axle doesnt help! I have a chainwhip, will that do it?

I've got a mid 80's raleigh Esprit with the steel 18/23 frame, just doing it up for a runabout. It has the steel sachs hurret mechs, which i'm replacing with some spare shimano 600's that i had laying about. The frame does not have the lug on the rear dropout for the mech to bolt to, it has an...

On my late 80's raleigh eclipse (reynolds 501 frame & forks), there is slight play and a click/twang noise if i pull up on the handlebars (going uphill or whatever). I had the headset/steerer serviced at a LBS, and this problem started about a week later. It never had any problem before. I...

I've moved back into a town (after living rural with smooth tarmac) and now find i'm getting alot of punctures and discomfort on my 3 road bikes (2 are running michelin pro race and the other michelin classics, 700 x 23 and 700 x 19) I also run a retro urban mtb which is fine, but i'd like...

As above, must be in VGC, complete and working. Needs to be late 80's or 90's era (light action).

i have the original shimano 105 hubs on my 1987 Raleigh Centenary, i'd like to replace the 6-speed cassette with a new one (either 6 or 7 speed), with similar ratios to the original (13-24 IIRC). the gears are indexed so if i get a 6 speed it needs to be compatible, if i fit a 7 speed i'll...

I got this off ebay last week, its a bit rusty & pitted on the gold plating, and the suede saddle needs a refurb, but the bike has not had much use and everything is all original. This is number 72 of 100, of a ltd edition model in 1987, to celebrate raleighs 100yr centenary. They were not...
