Re: About two years ago I had a long discussion in the pub with a couple of friends, who own a bike shop here in Cambridge, who were sick and tired of their compressor sound like the opening salvos from the first day of the Somme. After months of investigating and trying various silent...

Go on Haylock, tell us how much you paid for yours!

This is where we need a Raleigh/SBDU specialist. My focus is always more on engineering, heritage and materials. I think there are some people on this site who may have worked at Raleigh, hopefully they'll pick up this thread.

:lol: :lol: :lol: This is a great thread! What are your thoughts on my theory of it being built for Barrie Clark, as a training bike perhaps? I have to admit I wouldn't know who would have owned something like this previously or how to find out. Looking at the finish of that frame it doesn't...
