Raleight T.I. Track bike from 1983 - what is worth?

[ingenior]

Hi,

I have this Fix/Track bike with 60cm frame, Reynolds 531, weight 7,9kg. I got also original, flat crown fork and rear Dura Ace hub with gear on both sides and Campangolo rim in case anyone want to go back to tubular rear tire.

I'm wondering what I can ask for the bike and those spare parts.

Just a range is it £500-600 or more/less.

Tires need to be replaced (front is tubular), painting is not in perfect shape, there is some small dent on frame but nearly not visible on pictures and the only known issue is that that OFMEGA crank set is to tall for the fork and the nut on top of crank set cannot reach the fork top thread.

(I've edited year from in the topic, it was by mistake 1973.)

Thanks for any advice's.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is most likely a lightweight unit build from 1983. Paint is not original, it shouldn't have sb ovals as its a w numbered frame, and it may even have started as a road frame and has been modified with those track ends. The second pair of forks don't look right either.

This is a 1979 Track frame with the windowed lugs and the Zeus 2000 fork crown so as AndyMart says the frame is most likely 1983.

The capped seat stays first appeared after 75 too. Interesting fork crown Shaun.

Zeus 2000 series of fork crowns

The Pista Zeus crown appeared on Carlton's too BITD.

Thanks for all answers, but does it have some value anyway?

Nice Raleigh regardless of age or monetary value.
It should of course go here in the Road bike how much? thread:
