Hi, I'm selling my Raleigh Royal that I've had a couple of years, which has only done a few hundred miles with a trip to Normandy last year.

One previous owner, who owned this bike from new and has the original handbook, sales literature, tool kit, purchase receipt, and even a signed card from the builder!

23.5 inch - 60cm - I'm 5'10" with long legs - 76cm from centre of BB to top of saddle.

It currently has Campagnolo 9 speed shifters, which work well with the 6 speed block at the back, but happy to return it back to completely original if preferred. I'd like to keep the saddle, pedals, and bottle cages, but will put originals back on. The first 2 photos show it in it's current form, and the others are how it was originally when bought. - NOW BACK TO ORIGINAL SPEC

Beautiful bike, but just a bit overkill for what I need.

Collection only from Horsham, West Sussex, due to weight/size, but happy to meet in London at Victoria/London Bridge, if that's easier.

Just asking for some views here, but other than size(!) :) do you think it would be better to put this back to completely original (rather than my preference), to help sell it?

It's such a nice bike, even the original rubbers on the brake levers are like new, and not worn/cracked at all.
 
Hi all, I took the advice above and have put everything back to the original spec, and as close to the 1987/1988 brochure as possible. I'm also now open to offers :) I'll keep it here over the weekend, but will move to ebay next week if no one is interested. Cheers!
