Thanks - I came to pretty much the same conclusion after some searching. Now that I've trued the wheels, replaced most of the inners and re-taped the bars I took it out this morning for a short ride. Not sure I'm a fan of the 20c tyres but other than that it rides quite well :)

Sure - after a little maintenance and some new bar tape.

Now sold :)

TBH it's too big for me too. I keep thinking it looks OK in the photo and finding 62cm frames. I nearly said I'd leave it but I driven quite a way so decided to take a punt and see what it's like to ride.

Picked this up recently on impulse as new the name and had the 531 frame. Wasn't familiar with the Ole group-set. Some searching has revealed a little but it's still quite a mismatch - pedals by MKS, Accushift shifters by Suntor, calipers by Dia Compe yet all white with the Ole logo...

Went for a few too for odd project bikes. Not too shabby. Thanks.

Bump

Ah I see :)

Is it your auction? Out of curiosity did you find it from my original post?

Anyone interested at £150 ? Link to the archive below with the spec at the back http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... 9.pdf.html

Re: Re: Thanks - corrected. I was a little confused by the brochure as for the Elix, Delta and Strada it says "531 butted main tubes" and for the Quadra it just says "531 butted frame tubes". However, in the summary tables at the back all four say "3 tubes 531 butted" so you're right.

Lovely Raleigh Lightweight bike. Reynolds 531 main frame and forks and 105 group-set and wheels. This is the largest 62cm frame and 'though I am 6' tall and can just about stand over it it it a little to close to me hence the sale. More or less original in good condition. I think probably only...

I know Overbury's seem popular here so thought I'd put this one I saw up https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/1983 ... 1213810549

I said similar. My FM was a 1991 I think. Pretty sure I replaced the forks it came with with 1 1/8th ahead ones. I thought that would be OK for a hack bike hence the offer. Cheers

I've got some tatty Project 2 forks (threaded) and a matching Velocity stem lying around from similar vintage Fire Mountain. Send me PM if interested.

Edited as I was totally confused and misread the original post - sorry!

Got mine nos on ebay. Think that's your best bet to keep an eye on.

Braking is fine - the adapter really doesn't effect it as it basically just raises the pivots up so the power is just determined by the caliper and lever combination.

So an impulse buy of a Mavic 26" to 700c brake adapter meant I had to do something with it right! Cue a rather tired '91 Kona Fire Mountain with plenty of non-original parts. After a raid on the spares bin and a few purchases and here's my new commuter. Kept with P2 forks brought from here...

Is this a good deal for anyone? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/vint ... 1177058093 Tempted myself but look a little spare for me and the better half would go ballistic with 3 new bikes!!
