Hi, I bought this saddle at a stall at the Ulverston Velo Retro 2023. Was assured it is circa 1987 Raleigh Crit 12. I've been trying to identify the signature since. I've tried matching it to Grand Tour winners and KOMs of that era but with no joy.
Hi,
Thanks for all the help. I've been quoted £60 from another company for new decals which includes the time for designing them so have decided not to proceed. I've therefore completed as far as I'm going to go with it for now. As you say it just was not worth the time and money at this...
The project is going well and I'm currently looing for a company that will make me new decals/stickers. Can anyone advise on a good company and how to work out what fonts are on the bike. Does this information exist? I have taken photos of the decals.
Thanks for looking out the attached pages, which I've saved. The frame sticker states 531C, which you are thinking the frame model is made (double butted) stiffer for competition in criteriums!?
My pal was obviously mistaken about the age of the bike. He did when I collected it from him...
A friend has given me this to bring back to life and keep. it was the bike he had when we cycled together. After much fettling and a ton of wd40 I pumped up the tyres and carefully cycled it round my cul-de-sac. Everything pretty much worked after a wd40, taking off, cleaning and putting on...
Hi, I've been considering a retro bike and the Raleigh Triathlon 1987 was my first proper bike. However I'm confused as to the frame colour. I remember it been white and not yellow. Was it also sold in white?
