Been meaning to post some details of my recent Raleigh Randonneur build.
The idea was to build something to use for audax rides and commuting. I’d had a Randonneur frame a few years ago, but it was a bit long in the TT [long legs short body syndrome].

We've got a market for nice steel tourers, but you can't get too near a new marin nicasio in price - we sell a lot of them.

If they are 1997 decals it's not pre production, it's one of the last to the best of my knowledge. I noticed what looks like a pattern head badge decal on the seat tube.

We could sell this at 500, but that's serviced and guaranteed, and including 20%vat.
And you can always get lucky.
But rarity and provenance are irrelevant to 99% of the touring market.
