Karma 1980 Raleigh Record Ace free to a good home

[contadino]

Hello,

Would anybody be interested in this 1980 Raleigh Record Ace? I disassembled it before moving house 5 years ago with the intention of getting it resprayed but the resprayer went out of business and the project stalled. I'm now getting set to move house again and I don't want to take it with me so it's looking for a new home. Collection from Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Thanks, Jerry

wow, that's very generous. It shouldn't take long before there is a queue of retrobikers at your door

I was in Sheffield two weeks ago When do you need it gone by?

Not sure yet, but before end-Nov probably. I have a few more photos and I can obvs take photos of it now if necessary. I've just been through my parts crate and there's a fair few of original bits in there like toe clips and suede saddle. I say original - I bought this bike in about 2000 because I had one from new when I was a teenager (would've been around 1976-1979 and loved it. I don't remember mine having a brown suede saddle.

There are the wheels it had when I bought it and another pair with a megarange that I used when crossing the Alps.

I can do mid/late November as I'll be in Sheffield.

@contadino , @Guinessisgoodforyou is one of this forums good guys. I can’t think of a better person for this bike to be karma’d to if it ends up in his hands. And no he’s not paying me to say this!
