For Sale Ti Raleigh 753 now half price £1250

There an abomination TBH, everything is wrong with them & an insult to the true SBDU 753 frame… I have one of each & there’s just no comparison…..I sadly 🤦‍♂️have one of these anniversary framesets & im just building it as a commuter bike slowly single chainring set up….I had to get the headset reamed & faced….it was truly undersized, BB tapped & faced & even the seat tube reamed as was not done properly…..
 
Forgive my ignorance but who actually makes these "replicas"?
No idea of the company but They are manufactured in Taiwan…..apparently but seemingly no proper QA/QC is being carried out but anyone remotely connected directly with Raleigh……
 
An absolute bargain when you consider that they only made 200 complete bikes in five sizes so I'm guessing that's just 40 bikes in each size worldwide. There's a couple of new frames on eBay for £800 so you could sell the new parts and have a frame for much less. By all accounts those who own and have ridden one absolutely love it and come highly recommended, they actually ride better than the original..!..Mmmm should I treat myself for Christmas..🧑‍🎄

I have no doubt they are probably good bikes but but Raleigh were inviting criticism by dressing them up as replicas. That said, for every one of us that see a fail there are, undoubtedly, 100’s that remember the look, had the cheaper replica back in the day and see a very desirable product.
