Another Raleigh advice thread!

[mpatts]

Due to my current 'in between roles' status I'm currently looking at my bikes and thinking "do I want to keep that?".

One is a genuine SBDU 531 Raleigh Ti in Frankenspec (it's got what I like on it!). 8spd campag. I looked up the serial and it's either a 76 or 78, memory fails Mr.

What I can't work out is...is it worth anything? It's definitely been repainted. I've had it ten years, ridden it quite a lot but not recently. I still have the more period correct wheels.

I sort of hope not tbh.

Would love your thoughts please!

In theory it should be worth more than a fake...

Seat tube decals are not correct @vcballbat

Down tube decals are not correct @vcballbat

Down tube..?? more like seat tube on the fake, with the correct seat tube decal for under a tenner it could have been a far more convincing fake

Looks like a good quality repaint for tens years ago as the correct decals have been used, pretty much all of the restorations I've seen going back ten years in the Team livery have the wrong seat tube decals, do you know who painted it? Some more pics and frame number would be great, for a 76-8 it's had some extra braze ons added. Check out eBay sold listings to get an idea of value.
