1989 Raleigh 531c Luxe

[531 pro]

Framesets

I remember these were sold as framesets - must have been about 1990? When I worked in a Raleigh shop the factory were selling them off really cheap at the end of the season (big or small frame sizes only!). I got the top line 653 frame (white with pink and grey panels) for £100 ! and a 501 club (white with blue panels) for £50. Still got the latter...

Hmmmmm...what to do?

I'm still trying to finish my 1984 Raleigh SBDU Team Panasonic.Some of you may have seen it on readers bikes.
Just need a white turbo saddle and white benotto bar tape.
Anyone have them??

Anyway enjoy your build,ride the wind.

Looks great, well done. I love the good Raleigh road bikes.

Have you considered the older TriColour single pivot callipers, and the single sided road SPD's?

Good to see a few Raleigh's from this period on the go, and your's is a great example.

Here's my similar type of bike if you're interested.
