Raleigh (653 Reynolds) but what is the exact type?

[edwarder22]

Hi there,

would be great if someone can help me. I am new in the forum, maybe someone have some adivce, where I can get more information.

I can not find this bike with these colors anywhere.

It is maybe a '653 race' but I am not sure.

The serial number is barely visible.

What do you think is the approximate traded price?

Thanks a lot for your help!

One of the numerous variations of the Raleigh "team" bikes, colour and spec combinations galore.

Decent enough bikes, but not universally loved. I'm not a particular fan - although I do not hate them, I just think there was better about for the same money back in the day - but for everyone like me there will be a Raleigh fanboi who drools over them.

It looks to be in great order with a good spec.

If you can find said Raleigh fanboi on the right day you may be able to get £250-£300 for it, a bit less to a general buyer who just wants a cheap steed. One of the fanboi's will be able to give a better assessment than that, particularly if you post in the road bike forum where they tend to lurk.
