Raleigh Special Products 853 frame and matching straight fork any good to you? 60cm c-t, lovely deep blue, stainless head badge, very, very low mileage. Lovely workmanship - a poor man's Pegoretti.

The frame's currently in storage, so it might be a week or two before I can get pictures to you.John":1m23tj8v said:
It's a late nineties 853 TIG road frame, oversized (31.8mm seat tube). The fork is brazed, not unicrown. Geometry's nothing out of the ordinary - probably 73 parallel or close to it, horizontal top tube. Top tube length's about 58-59cm, but I'd need to check that. Separate seat collar, no front mech braze-on, short sloping dropouts, allen key brake fitting. Currently has a Chorus (1") threaded headset fitted. The seat tube is sleeved for a 26.8mm post, but could be reamed out to 27.2 if you prefer.
Drop me a PM if that's of interest, and I'll see about getting you some pictures.
