For Sale 1986 Raleigh Maverick 15GT - weapon!!

[dohurrymurray]

I picked this up several years ago just because I thought it was cool and with the exception of swapping the awful import tyres (zero traction but TBF did squeal the tarmac like Starsky n Hutch!!) for Billy Bonkers it remains as I found it...

Info from previous owner, seemed a genuine guy who appeared to have done lots of research -

1886 Raleigh Maverick 15GT (23" frame as I recall but I'll double check, I'm 6ft it's a tad small for me) Mk2 model hand built in Nottingham with superior frame, forks and components sold exclusively through Raleigh Five Star dealerships (unlike the bikes that sold through Halfords etc)

New Sachs rear axle, bearings and gear shifters

New Dia Compe brakes and cables

Re-chromed handlebars

Freewheel, chain and stand, modern mudguards and LED lights (obviously not period correct)

I need to free some space hopefully someone can enjoy this ride at a fair price of £80, collection GU29

Nice n tidy retro bike in excellent working order

DM for more photos and I'll try to answer any questions

Thanks Murray

It’s a lovely thing but I just bought this one a couple of weeks ago for £50 off @legrandefromage on here. I fear the asking price is optimistic in todays market.
As collected:


He initially asked £80 but dropped the price after 7 (!) pages of complementary comments - but no takers until I swooped in.. glad I did though, it’s utterly charming to ride (and look at).
Best regards.

Plus mine had the original levers, glad to see the back of the Lyotard pedals though! Well, my shins are anyway.

Thanks for the heads up chaps, is it the sparkly Maverick in 2nd image that went for £50?

Murray, I think that’s worth £80 of anyone’s money. Bargain.

Its a difficult market for these, if it was the 531 frame, maybe but its 'just' the hi-ten with nice bits

If it hadnt sold, I would have probably given the frame away and kept a few of its nice bits

LGF I thought yours was well worth the cash too
