Although maybe not so interesting for the English here (because of transport), reluctantly I put up for sale my 1984 Raleigh Corsa. I actually build up this bike for my son, but as I he is only 3 now, I better use the money and space for some more current projects!
This Raleigh is in a very nice condition complete with the original Shimano 105 "Golden Arrow" group. I just replaced the non-orginal Campagnolo and Surly levers with NOS Golden Arrow ones. The only 3 things not original are the new XT chain, the brake cables and the handlebar tape.
Specs:
- 54.5cm frame in Oyster white from Reynolds 501 tubes including the fork
- Gipiemme forged ends
- full Shimano 105 "golden Arrow" group
- SR stem and seatpost
- Weinmann rims
- Older Swalbe 700c x 20 tires
- ISCA suede saddle (original)
The bike is of course not new and has some little scratches and vey light cablerub. I have reversed the cassette (yes that was a nice option) so those are as good as new! The no-drive side crank has some deeper scratches and is missing the boltplug, but I have a probable lead to one.
As you can see on the pictures, all aluminium and Stainless parts are in very good shape, but some chromed parts (only some nuts and bolts) have some pitting. The Raleigh name decal is missing some parts. That is because it is handpainted (!) and the paint has been rubbed of a bit.
All in all a very nice preserved example. I only sell it to make some space as it is too small for me and will be waiting for my son a bit too long!
I am looking for 100 euros without posting.
Thanks for looking!
