Cool - I knew it was rare, but not that rare! I've always had a soft spot for Raleigh Reynolds bikes (this is number four in the collection and by far the most prestigious!) - its too small for me, but had to have it anyway - think it'll be fine with a longer stem and seatpost (hopefully)

Bagged this for the princely sum of £97... bought it on a whim as it was local, knowing I could always use the forks, XT thumbies and the wheels on some other pending builds but now I've got it home, its too nice and original to split...just needs a good service and poss new chain/block Bit...

But that's the retro way....as a teen, I remember hooning downhill as fast as possible on a bike at least 6 inches too big (bought for me to "grow into!")... I couldn't reach the pedals properly, just about managed to reach the bars but made sure as hell I didn't crash as there was thought of a...

Ohhhh very nice....... and one of my mates lives in Norwich :D I'm thinking that's a 20"....does that sound right?

Perfect size for me, but too expensive, unfortunately :( Would make a lovely build....

What on earth has happened to the top of the seat tube?!

Anybody ?!

I think the buyer is going to need some luck shifting that seatpost.....

Right def need to get me another Saracen. Looking for a complete bike with good paint (no time to build and/or paint) from around 89 to until about 92-ish. Needs to be no smaller than 20", pref 21"+ and am not set on any particular model but not too low-rent (i.e. Tufftrax or better) My...

Agreed. Caustic soda is nasty stuff but quick and easy if you need to repaint anyway. If there is a remote possibility that you won't repaint, give it a few days with a combination of Ammonia and the quill stem method as no damage caused. That's my preferred method, although decent strength...

Only ones I can think of are the mid-eighties Saracen Conquest (the 531 framed one) and the Raleigh Randonneur (but obviously not an MTB)

Agreed - the Sachs Huret mechs and chainset are a definite low-rent giveaway. Combined with the rolled steel seat post!

Sweet....lucky too small for me. Agree, think this will end up pretty high... I'm still waiting for a 21" Black 531 Conquest to appear but these appear to be like rocking horse sh#t... my mate had one bitd and I loved it!

With free chain link extractor (maybe!)

I believe drcarlos is 100% spot on....this is a Ltd Edition Team Mustang. The reason I know is that one of my mates had one bitd (his dad owned the local Raleigh Bike shop) - it was exactly the same as the Mustang everyone else seem to have in those days (the black and white one with the red...

Round the corner from me if anyone needs help with collection....

Not 100% sure of the model, but yellow was normally the colour of the Muirwoods.

I did ride it with the stem like that, but only a quick jaunt round the block. But twitchy with the short high-rise stem - def one of the first things to change! Maguras are on the list, but hoping to move house next month so trying not to spend much (or anything!), so this is going to start...

Yeah, I've never found any of those mythical #25 places either. Cheapest I've found is about #45, but don't mind paying a bit extra for a proven quality. I'll have to check the funds though (missus got me on a budget as supposed to be moving house soon), but I'll PM you soon!
