NOS Vintage Raleigh SBDU Reynolds 531c Frameset 55.5cm 1985 # SB7638

This for me is a thing of beauty, thankfully too small.

A beautiful frame but It is also ridiculously expensive and has glaring errors on the decals which makes me doubt the NOS provenance. I doubt Raleigh would have sent this out with the red and yellow colour bands the wrong way around on the top and downtube ( should be yellow on the left ) and the seat tube has them upside down ( yellow should be bottom ). Also the Raleigh text should encroach onto the yellow colourbar so is far too far to the left. I am nitpicking but then it is £2300 I think its fair to expect it right?? Sorry if its anyone's frame on here, I don't mean to offend.

Didn't know if the transfers were correct. I have had a few Raleighs with all sorts of discrepancies. As you say ridiculously expensive but beautiful.

If that was a 753 then definitely in the ball park price wise but at that price unless it comes with authenticated provenance it’s just an ordinary 531 SBDU frameset which would be around 1K….
