For Sale Raleigh Record Ace/RRA frame, fork and cranks, 55cm, £100

[garethrl]

I've had this frameset for ages and can't remember how it came to be in my possession. A Raleigh Record Ace from the 1950s I believe. Silver paint with light blue seat panel and headtube. No tubeset decal but I believe it's 531.

Seat tube is 55cm C-C and top tube is 56cm C-C. There's a nice CTC badge bearing the name Douglas Scott at the top of the seat tube, potentially covering a tubeset decal I suppose.

BB runs smoothly, and there's plenty of life lift in the 46T chainring. Cranks are straight and the chrome is still in fair condition. Headset turns but is a bit rough. I haven't tried moving the seatpost.

More photos available on request. Frame is in Aberystwyth, collection preferred. I can take it to Cardiff if that helps.

Cheers,
Gareth.

I'm pretty sure that it's actually a Lenton frameset not an RRA, the biggest giveaway is that Lenton headtube lugs had triangular cut-outs the RRAs didn't.
