1987 Raleigh Ozark 531
21" Reynolds 531 frame - I'm 5'11" and it's about right in 80's sizing. The B/B is high by modern standards.
18 speed Deore XT with thumbshifters.
Deore XT II U-brake with shark tooth and power plate.
Deore XT shark fin.
Mavic M7CD on Deore XT wheels, d/b s/s spokes, handbuilt.
Suntour 'sticky finger' brake levers.
Deore XT cantilever and Suntour XCD pedals included in sale.
XT B/B, DX headset.
I've owned this bike from new and it's been everywhere with me - even to the top of Helvellyn. I've got three young kids though and time and space mean it's time for it to find a new owner. It has a respray and frame repair (new b/b shell) by Les Rigden in the 90's, but it really needs a respray now. It's faded and poorly touched-up and there are three tiny rust spots showing through.
Everything works as it should, it's a fun and engaging ride. It's had many upgrades so none of the components are original, but save the V-brake and a-head stem (using an adaptor) it's a very typical late 80's set-up. I'll throw in the Suntour XCD pedals and an XT cantilever if you want them.
I'm looking for £150 or thereabouts and ideally collection from Burgess Hill near Brighton.
