A very cheap 1987 Raleigh Royal touring bike, Complete, but needs a lotta lotta love.
126mm rear end (but can fit in 130mm wheel OK)
Good points:
Full 531 ST frame and forks, built by Raleigh's Lightweight division in Nottingham,. Same frame and forks as Randonneur I believe but doesn't have spare spoke holder.....
Front lowrider mounts
Stem and seat post are free and smooth
STX rear mech
Only £50!!!!!
Bad points:
Rough as a badgers arse
Front canti mounts have been welded on
Small dent on downtube
Only 3 point rack mounts at rear! (bizarre!)
Surface rust
In West Wales (a beautiful part of the UK, but a long way for collection).
Would cost £40 ish to post in UK.
