Oooh! I'd really like one of those!
No, too far, can't afford it, too many on the go already, must not bid, must not bid, MUST. NOT. BID........

Shame it’s such a small frame, only value is frame n fork stx group can be removed and binned

Why would anyone bin a good groupset?

Double clamps on a frame not designed for it. Doesn't always end well.

As always happy to be educated - I’ve seen what I thought was quite a few Ti Raleigh’s of this era with this fork on so thought they must have come like that?

It’s sold already I think anyone get it?

@mtbdave I quite like that version of STX! Not saying I’d fit it to my best bike but I like the smoked look of some of it. It’s an odd build of components - LX v brakes and levers with DX thumbies but I guess when it was built/used/parts replaced that’s what they could get.

I would say it deserves better to be honest

The Trimnell fork was fitted to some of the Raleigh Torus Ti's as standard. Any excuse to post pictures of my bikes. This is the Torus XT,



Where as my cheaper model Torus LX has the UGLI fork but the frame remains the same.

How did I miss this?


It's a bit of a hodge podge - canti levers with v brakes. Low spec for a Trimnell. STX wore UGLI.

It's a canti frame - Torus era, bridge on the top of the wishbone, cabling down the side of the top tube. However the window rear dropout and decals are later, more like an RSP.

Great price

To be fair theyh may have sold models like that and I was unaware.
