Raleigh (653 Reynolds) type, year, value unknown

[edwarder22]

Hi there,

would be great if someone can help me. I am new in the forum, I already posted in the wrong forum.

Anyone knows more information about this bike? excat type, age, value, etc.

I did a big research, but got rare information.

The serial number is barely visible. I figured out, that the serial number should start with a letter. But that is not the case here. It starts with number 1


Thanks a lot for your help!

8801 653 race? Late 80's at a guess. Not sure about value as they made loads of this style in a variety of tubes. £120?

Older style 653 decal dates to 86-88.

653 was Introduced in 1986. They used a black background with the 653 text in purple in 1988/89.

Probably worth £180-200
