FOR SALE:Raleigh Special Products frame, 853, Offers now!

[orange71]

This is my Raleigh Special Products frame. It's from 1999 and would have cost £600 new. The tubes are Reynolds 853. Seat tube is 20.5" c-c (22.5" c-t), top tube is 23.5" c-c, head tube 165mm. Seat post diameter is I think 29.6 but I will include a shim which takes it down to a standard 27.2.

Pluses: Very light frame for its size. Rides beautifully. Pearlescent/metallic golden yellow paintwork with red flame effect.

Minuses: some scratches, a bit of chain slap and wheel rub and a (non-structural) dent on the top tube, which on Mercian's recommendation has been filled and covered with a Retrobike sticker It hasn't been repainted underneath.

£100 posted or £90 collected from Derby
