Raleigh Lightweight Frameset

[Kaboom]

Hi, can anybody throw any light on this frame. I think its about 1987, it's 501 and has the GVOD sticker. 23 1/2" frame never been built, just a few marks from storage, whats it worth? Cheers, Kaboom

Whats the frame number? (will be under the BB, or perhaps behind the seat tube)

That will date it

Looks like a 1987 ish 501 race. As MrW says the frame number will date it, the third number from the start will be the year of manufacture

Re:

Yep its 1987ish. I had one of those. I was riding it in 1998. Was a great frame if slightly heavy....Id say in that condition its gotta be worth £100.00 or there a bouts?

What size is it and is it going to be for sale ?

It's 23 1/2. There is an element of sentiment attached to it, but I'll never build it up, and having it hanging on my office wall is a waste! You can never know or insist but I would like somebody that will build it and appreciate it to have it, I'd consider a reasonable offer.
