Raleigh Appalachian Late 80's early 90's for sale

[paulyb]

I am selling my much loved Raleigh Appalachian as I need the space in my garage.
It is in very good condition and all original except tyres and tubes.
Frame and forks were replaced by Raleigh special engineering back in 90's due to a split forming in frame where the seat post is inserted. This has gave the bike an extended life.
I'm not sure how much it is now worth so will start at £100 or offers if anyone interested.
Thank you.

Re:

looks like a 93ish Dynatech frameset painted (partly) in Appalachian colours. So really just the components and wheels that are original.
Is there a frame decal at the bottom of the seat tube that says what this is made from?

Re:

531 tubing, the original frame had a lot of pink on it.

Re:

They must have just fitted the original decals on it even though it's not 531 anymore. It may be a mix of Titanium main tubes and steel rear end either a Dynatech or M-Trax frame from 93-94. There are a few other examples on here which are similar in that they have a newer replacement frame painted in the original colours to the bike they were replacing. Anyway, good luck with the sale.

For comparison here's my original 531 Appalachian.
