Hi, it looks to me that it's simply a mis-printed 0, it looks much more 'closed' than the normal Cs./ Also, this would fit with the serial formatting. Here is a quote from a post I made a couple of months ago when I bought a Randonneur with a funny serial: Edit: My serial was EO 5283, so...

I'm thinking of going to have a look at it in a couple of hours, I don't need another one but for the price it looks ok. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/peuge ... 1029677174 I'm struggling to find any info on it online; the only ones I can find with internal cable routing (which you can see...

Hmmm, not something I'd thought of until now; I'll have a look tomorrow and see what state it's in. That said, I'm not even using the hanger that's on there at the moment, just a clamp-on one, but if the whole back end is out then that could be causing some problems. If it is out, is there any...

Yeah, the crank nut is tight, although the big ring does have a slight wobble. However, seeing as it slips on all 3 rings, possibly least on the large one, and the fact it worked fine as a single-speed leads me to think that that may not be the cause. As for wear, both the chain rings and...

Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section! As some of you may know I've recently gotten a hold of a Raleigh Randonneur that I've started working on. Now, the bike didn't come with a derailleur, and how silly of me it was to think I could simply bolt a new one on! The rear hanger was...

Bought some chainrings from him; good price, very fast delivery and great communication! Top bloke, would be very happy to deal with him again

Hi guys, thanks for all the offers; I've taken My_Teenage_Self up on his offer so I'm sorted for now!

Hi, nearly all my chainrings are worn to the point of slipping, so I'm in need of either a whole chainset (square taper) or a set of 3 chain rings, with a BCD of 110/74 to fit a Deore MT60 chrankset. Willing to pay up to £30 posted for a nice set Cheers

Hi guys, time for an update. All of the new parts have arrived now, and I'm ready to start putting it all together. At least, that was the case until I tried to fit a new derailleur and found that the hanger is completely stripped! No wonder it had no derailleur come with it. So, after doing...

Hi, from the research I've carried out, there is no single resource regarding Raleigh serials after around 1982 (besides American serials). After reading on different forums, I spotted a few people had posted their serials of later Raleighs; One guy had a 1991 with a serial starting with B...

Re: Bits for your vintage ride,50s/60s/70s.loads to choose f You still got the pedals?

Hi guys, cheers for the responses. Roadking, after doing a little research I've not managed to find a definitive answer as so its age or where it was built, but on another forum someone had a 1991 Raleigh with a serial starting with B, while another had a 1997 with a serial starting with H...

Hi everyone, I've recently got hold of a Raleigh Randonneur. However, upon looking at the serial, it is unlike any other Raleigh serial I can find online; CO 5283. Now I'm pretty certain it's a genuine Randonneur, but have no idea about its age or where it was made. Can anyone here shed some...

Re: Raleigh Randoneeur (project) Hi guys, Today I decided to clean up the old girl and have a look at what I'm dealing with. The bike could honestly be a pound lighter after that clean, I don't think she'd ever been cleaned in the past 25 years! Anyway, it all looks pretty good, the chrome...

Hi everyone, I have been scouring Gumtree daily for the past few weeks to find a bike I can go touring on next year. I stumbled across an old Raleigh that had few details, and couldn't tell much from the pictures. I decided to go and have a look, and its an old Raleigh Randonneur. I don't know...

Thankyou so much! The rear of the Brake calipers say February and April 1978, so it's probably a 78/79 model. Time to do some more research! The hubs are completely blank though

Any ideas of model/age? I've scoured old catalogues and nothing seems to resemble it. I wouldn't mind knowing so I can get it stickered up again once I start work on it

none of them really look like my bike, could be a few of the parts on there have been added/changed at a later date. Do you know where I'd find the serial number? I can't seem to find it and that might help a fair bit EDIT: Could possibly be a Raleigh Flyer that's been repainted along the line?
