This is a 62cm frame Raleigh Strada with Reynolds 531 butted tubes for someone well above 6 feet tall. It's as per page 4 of Raleigh's catalogue here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/104192-2/Raleigh+Lightweights+1989.pdf
Genuine reason for sale in that I'm 5' 8" and have no chance of being able to ride it. The Raleigh's come through me, with a thread on the CycleChat forum, to save it being put into a skip.
All original except for black rather than cream brake hoods and a black saddle. Features are:
Asking £100 and not via eBay in the hope that it won't be stripped and sold for parts. I could do that but it seems a shame to an original bike.
