Raleigh Royal 25" 531 frame - £90 - pics added

[Captain Stupido]

This beautiful frame has been in the family for a while. It's currently built up with a hodge podge of parts but I will get round to stripping it soon and will post better pics when I'm finished. I will leave the bottom bracket and headset on it. It's in beautiful condition, no serious dings or structural issues and the original two-tone paint, transfers, and chrome are all very good. I don't think this has been ridden much. Lovely lugs, too. Built, I think for 27" wheels, although it will work with 700c (as pictured) as long as your brakes reach.

Will make a tall chap very happy but it's too big for me.

£90 cash on collection, N London.[/img]

ask me again when I've got round to taking the bits off it. Seeing as it's currently still built up I'd rather wait and see if anyone local's interested - with the prospect of cash I'd get a move on and get it ready for sale.

Just took this for a ride and despite being too big it is an absolute joy on the road. The frame has a lovely amount of "give" making it very comfortable but still very fast. This is not a twitchy uber-rigid racer but nonetheless it makes very rapid progress. This is the sort of frame that eats miles and would make a very nice commuter or audax/light touring machine.

I wish I was a little bit taller...

Last chance before I put it on eBay. £90 cash collected from North London. Add £25 for safe packing and courier delivery.

Just a quick thought, you could try to flog it on LFGSS classifieds, you may get a better price over there than ebaying it.

Thanks, could be a good idea.
