Raleigh full 531 non-SBDU but O’Donavan badged- TLC req’d £60 , Dundee

[gflow]

Largeish Raleigh GO’D badged Full 531 frame in need of a bit of a restore

looks like all right era bits and bobs on it, around 87-88 likely Worksop built.

bargain at £60 for the chainset alone, never mind the gem of frame it is on. would get it myself out of shed space if someone here gets it they’ve hit a real bargain

I've asked seller for the frame number. Will let you know...

Looks like an 88xx lightweight from the 80's?

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Oversize seat stay caps are a clue?
Shame about the crap pictures.

Its genuine and cheap.

I bow, as usual, to your esteemed opinion. Let's hope one of our Scottish brethren snaps it up - but a pretty intensive refurb needed.
Oh, wait a minute. I've just noticed it's a Raliegh, not a Raleigh. Damn.

No need for bowing I have to say I'm not esteemed in anyway mate. I'm just a bloke that likes bikes

@chickendrumsticks Yes it would need a complete strip. Looks to be original apart from the pedals. It was one of the ready made models they did. The name escapes me.

Thanks, yes agreed. And my bow wasn't meant as an act of worship, simply an acknowledgement of your wide and interesting take on all things biking.
