RALEIGH 531 TEAM TI REPLICA

[Ian Raleigh]

I'd be tempted to neatly grind off the mudguard eyes unless you intend to fit mudguards.

I agree, i've spoken to the paintshop who are painting the frame and it doesn't seem to be a problem for them to do, so off they go.
I'll see if i can get some images sorted.

This was my dream bike as a kid. Just checking in for ringside seat. How big is it?

 

[Bananasplit]

The frame is either 20.5" or a 21" in size, the banana rep i have is a 20" with a slighty short headtube length.
Build specs are:-

Full ultegra 6700 10spd groupset
H Plus + sons TB14 laced to 6700 hubs
3T SL2 drop bars
3T STEM ??
Charge saddle

It could be for sale if the wife spys the cost lol.

You read my mind! Sadly it would need to be a 60cm for my uses. If anybody's reading this.........As it would be a rider first. Would this be about 1980? trying to remember when I started lusting after them.

The bottom bracket has WS6 stamped on to it, its eirther a 76' or an 86', so anybody can work it out from the lugs and dropouts i would aprricate it. The frame stated life as something else, but ive wanted a Team Ti Rep ever since a clasped my eyes on one, so the opotunity arose when i got smacked of the banana rep. It must be something to do with being English and living close to Notts that i feel loyal to Raleigh's of the 80's & 90's, both the father and father in law had these bikes back in their hay day, so i found it fitting to own some of the same units.
