Raleigh Draken

[ultracoach]

Very nice, very basic, Raleigh.
Completely stripped down, cleaned, and rebuilt.
All bearings regreased, and the only replacement was two gear cables...otherwise, as far as i know, it is pretty much as standard....and in great condition.
Original brake blocks and tyres...nominal wear.
Saddle unmarked.
No frame rust or damage.
Decals not great....flaked away off frame....if new decals, it would look amazing.
Complete Shimano 70GS group, unmarked....and BioPace!
Size....seat tube c-c...18.5 inch
top tube c-c....21.5 inch
How old....????.no idea! Maybe someone could help....?
Price.....ride away for £50!......
FOR SOME REASON, SCROLL SIDEWAYS TO VIEW PICS...? Dont know why they came out that way!
Bristol area.........

Look at the top right of your post, there should be two buttons, "edit" and "quote", first copy all my green text above, then click edit on YOUR first post at the top and then delete all those

As for age, I would say with 90% certainty 1991 and 10% 1990
