[Price Check] 1973 Raleigh Competition Carlton MK. II

retro531

Retro Newbie
Hello everybody!

I have a 1973 Raleigh MK. II that is in great shape, model number DL 165, besides the front derailleur having a crack where it attaches to the frame. I have done quite a bit of searching through this forum and the web trying to find info on this bike but have only found a couple good sources. From my knowledge this is a high quality 10 speed that is somewhat rare. This bike is 63 cm and the 531 frame is in very good condition, all the parts are original down to the tires and seat. I would like to know a little more about this bike and I might be possibly selling it sometime. I'm new to this forum so any feedback on how much something like this would sell for and any information would be much appreciated.

Thank you all!
 
Sorry this was going to be in the original post but due to the forums rules I have to have two posts to link to anything.
