WTD Now Sorted with New Bike

[willhouse]

As above, I am looking for anything close to Sheffield.

I am open minded as to what I may find, but I am 5' 10" with a 32" inseam, so probably something around a 56cm would suit I think?

I particularly like old Bianchi, Peugeot, Raleigh, infact any nice steel frame considered, just after something to either ride straightaway, or restore, but the bike must be built so that I know it fits me as it will be doing alot of miles.

Aluminium may be considered, but it would have to be something interesting.

Not fussed on either Shimano or Campag, but Campag is preferable.

Preferably 80s or 90s.

Let me know what you have.

Top budget circa £400ish...

Let me know....

There is a Wanted thread on here.

Please use it.

I have one though. Raliegh Veloce, In need of a full restore.

Apologies for the post in the wrong section, with the announcement at the top of the section saying please put wtd or fs at the start of your thread, I assumed it was ok to post here.

It was changed recently. No biggie.

I have a 1982 Raleigh Record Ace in original spec with a 22.5 (57cm) 531 frameset, Campag Gran Sport gears, ESGE mudguards, 27 x 1 1/4 alloy qr wheels in Doncaster area, getting rare in this condition so would only like to sell if goig to a good careful owner, original bar tape, saddle, tyres!

Ooh. That sounds nice. I may have too look at that if the other guy doesn't like the sound of it.

Its on display at The Trolleybus Museum in Sandtoft at present, I find the 23.5 frames more comfortable, and have a couple of them, so could part with the 22.5 for an enthusiast who will look after it, link shows my original 22.5 with my equally nice original 23.5, shame I cant upload direct here, but the file is too big
