Excellent catalogue shot.

It will clean up beautifully

I've ridden it already! Nice. I does look in very good shape. I may need to decide what we should do with the RRA. I can't keep both!

The triathlon will ride better not full 531. The rra is full 531 but 27"

Nice score, I like that colour a lot.

Good enough for Nobby Stiles, '66 world cup winner and biter of legs.



They were I think same frames and sold alongside Raleigh Quadra and Ritmo. You had to have a badge engineered 'triathlon' model late 80s or you weren't in the game. Good bikes.

Worth the find just for the banter here!

I have to admit it is quite a beautiful groupset, in some ways I prefer it in looks to the tricolour.
What would you choose, the 87 Triathlon or the 82 Record Ace (with Campag gears)
