Re: Raleigh Royal Reynolds 531 60cm frame That's just what I'm needing, I'll PM you.

Funnily enough I nearly bought one recently. Functionally it was exactly what I was looking for but I couldn't get past the gold bling so I ended up not bidding. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ralei ... true&rt=nc

I can remember quite a few of my friends having the Dinky version. I had never heard of James Bond (I've still only seen one Bond film) and couldn't understand why it said "OOT" on the bonnet.

I bought a nice but tired Raleigh Royal at the weekend. When had a go at riding it the front wheel was creaking quite badly, which I quickly discovered was caused by all of the spokes being loose. The first question is how would that happen? The rim seems to run fairly true, I don't think it's...

I was sold a pair of Continental Super Sport last year, which claimed to have a puncture resisting belt. They were such a nightmare to fit that I got a puncture putting them on. That was galling, but not as galling as when the puncture resisting belt failed to resist a thorn after not very many...

I'm sure the 1984/1985 Raleigh Royal I've just bought has a 50/34 chainset and I think it's original. It's got a 14-32 freewheel too, which has been replaced but I believe that's the spec of the original.

There are a couple of guides here that should help. http://sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/bbadj.html and http://sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/bbcups.html Before considering a replacement BB you should service the existing one. Sheldon Brown suggests doing away with the bearing cages and fitting all new...

You search for the item you are interested in then you click where it says "Completed listings" in the left pane, you might have to scroll down a bit to see it. It's handy for catching out people who are trying to turn a quick profit on something they bought last week and haven't done anything...
