Here we have for sale a beautiful Raleigh Criterium Road Racing Bike
(cost £500 new in 2017)
This is in superb condition & is mechanically perfect having just had a full (Gold) strip & service using top quality Mobil XHP 222 marine grease (worth £150 alone) by myself (an expert bike mechanic, see last picture) with luxurious new bar tape fitted.
Equipment wise it comes with excellent Shimano Claris STI shifters which work beautifully, high power dual pivot brakes with cartridge pads, Shimano Claris front & rear mechs (the shifting is superb) & a high quality finishing kit (bars,seat,seatpost & stem) & good quality sealed bearing pedals which all adds up to a great package which is excellent value for money.
The bike benefits from having a fully degreased drivetrain & chain which has been hot wax/PTFE dipped which unlike oil stops all the gunk build up, chainring tattoos & prevents premature drivetrain wear due to chain oil mixing with grit & turning into a grinding paste.
The bike has s super lightweight aluminium frame which internally routed gear & brake cables, carbon fibre aero forks & durable double wall wheels with quality smooth hubs which run true & tight with new top quality Continental Gaitorskin anti puncture fast rolling tyres (worth over £60.00).
The frame size is 49cm (small) which has racing style geometry. The bike rides beautifully & wants for nothing, you won’t be disappointed & will not find a better example at this price rest assured.
It has a 11-32 cassette & 50-34-170 compact chain set which is geared for great climbing ability mixed plenty of speed on the flats.
Every bike which goes through my workshop is subject to a vigorous 10 mile road test to ensure perfect performance & reliability so you can buy with complete confidence.
I can supply & fit a set of reflectors & a bell for this bike at no extra cost if required (just ask).
This would make a great gift for someone wanting to get into racing bikes or would be a superb & reliable fast commuter / delivery bike.
Will suit riders from approximately 5ft to 5,11
Can deliver for fuel costs (up to 100 miles)
Any questions please get in touch.
Current Price: £180.00
