Raleigh Record Sprint - Frame and Forks 501, 23"

Following on from my recent build thread (viewtopic.php?t=272413) I have a Raleigh Record Sprint frame for sale along with matching forks. Seat tube C-C 23", top tube C-C 22.5" all in Reynolds 501. I am the second owner and the supplying dealer sticker is still present.

Condition is good, but being 20ish years old there are some marks consistent with use, but no dings or damage other than a few paint chips and some surface rust in the bottom bracket carrier.

Unfortunately the decals have worn off over the years, but you could continue and remove them all for that stealth black look. Alas, the seat post is stuck, although since I acquired the bike knowing that the frame was too big I haven't made a great deal of effort to remove it. Included is also the original supplied pump, which fits neatly in the frame and the Tange headset which is a bit rough but will get you started.

£30 and collection is from Guildford. At the moment I can't ship due to the turmoil of house renovations! Dibs and PM please.

Sorry not about the bike unfortunately to big, but what does the G stand for? It's my son's name and initials

Interested in this as a back-up if/when my Carrera GT suffers a stay failure - are you in a rush to have the frame & forks gone?

I have lost all storage at the moment while the house gets an extension that involves the garage, so it's definitely in the way. All other bikes have been moved off site so I'd like it gone within a week or so, but equally I don't want to put it on eBay if I don't have to.

Too soon?

For me, yes. :( I'm not going to be down in London before Friday 31 January (en-route to Essex) - and a brief diversion to Guildford wouldn't be a problem for me.

No worries if the need for space is paramount and you need shot of it. Hopefully it'll find a loving home and return to the road.

Happy to not advertise it anywhere else until Sunday 2nd Feb. Just let me know if you change your plans in the meantime.
 
Hello there

Brand new member here - I don't want to step on anybody's toes but is the frame still available?
I've been trying to buy a similar bike to restore off ebay only for the seller to tell me that the frame has got a crack in it (fair play to him) discovered when he was dismantling it for posting.

Yes, the frame is still in my possession. I've dropped GasPipeWarrior a PM to see what he wants to do as we never confirmed a sale (seems only fair to me). If he doesn't want it then it's yours, but you know it's collection only right?
 
Agreed - it's only fair to give them first refusal.

I live in Harrow and work in High Wycombe so you're hardly on the other side of the world!
