Hello, id like to take this please.

Its very disappointing that this has happened. I don't think the steel mech hangers identified would work due to being designed for horizontal dropouts. This is an old bike with a non replaceable alloy dropout. It looks like it has been badly mauled by some tool or a vice. It has numerous other...

I remember the leather blocks being introduced as Raleigh Raincheck. Must have been about 1980.

Re: 1960s Sun Snipe Prestige Curious about what EUUT tubing is. I have not heard of it before. Good luck with the sale, bargain at that price.

Youre welcome. Try not to repaint if at all possible. Its only original once. Loads of advise on here and the web in general on preserving the original finish. Try and post some pictures if you can.

Can you post a photo?

RGF is the make of bottom bracket. It would have had Gran Sport hubs but I dont know what else.

I believe these were made by Coventry Eagle Cycles in South Wales. Barry Hoban worked for them at the time. I remember seeing a brochure featuring three bikes, one as described above, one with 4130 tubing and a Shimano groupset and a high tensile lower end bike. The Campag equipped bike was...

Re: 700c wheels and tyres : Need 'em gone Thanks Ash Think I will pass on these. Good luck with the sale. Trevor

My Dawes Galaxy serial number is F5110. Think it is from the early seventies. Maybe we should start collecting Dawes serial numbers and see if we can make sense of the code.

As a first project I would suggest stripping it down and replacing what needs replacing, bearings, cables etc. Possibly consider upgrading to alloy rims or buying an old complete wheelset with the alloy rims. You can get budget new wheels in the 27 by 1/4 size as well. Fitting a new groupset...

Thats a lovely frame. You could build it up as speced by the Raleigh Weinmann Team with Simplex gears and Weinmann brakes and rims. That would be an interesting alternative to Campag and possibly cheaper.

Re: Eastway Reynolds frameset and bits. Ok thanks Jm

Re: Hello JM Nice bike. What would be included for the £120 asking price. You mentioned brakes, derailleurs and mudguards. Would there be anything else? Many thanks

Nice build. Like the matching saddle and bar tape.

I think £150 is a good price to achieve for that frame assuming you're selling the forks and headset as well. What make are the gear levers?

Hello Foz I have a 59cm Bianchi Gold Race Team in red, 2000 model. Built as a single speed. If you're interested let me know. Photos by email. Thanks Trevor

If I remember correctly the Tonard Brazing Company made a lot of chrome steel carrier racks. They were three point fixing. Didnt know they made frames.

Re: Beautiful bike, very nicely done. Looks like a very close clearance frame. What is the tyre size?
