Raleigh Record Sprint, 25″ frame, so would suit the taller rider from just under 6 foot or over.
Reynolds 501 aero tubing.
This
bike is largely original as it has had very limited use prior to my purchase, I have simply upgraded parts or managed to obtain new or New Old Stock (NOS) to fully rebuild the bike to how it presents today.
All the usual gold components in really good condition.
Wheels
were fully rebuilt using NOS Weinmann gold rims with the original Maillard hubs being stripped and regreased. It has the desirable
rear helicomatic free wheel hub, both wheels rebuilt professionally with new stainless
steel plain gauge spokes. They look superb. These are shod with Continental ‘Gaitorskin’ tubeless tyres, not cheap!
Frame
was fully stripped, primered and repainted in gloss black, new reproduction classic
mirror gold and space shuttle decals applied and laquered to finish off – again looks suberb.
Original Shimano golden arrow rear mech, Huret NOS front mech.
‘Gran Compe’ alloy downtube shifters (I have the original Raleigh classic plastic shift levers if required). All bearings cleaned, inspected and replaced if necessary and repacked with appropriate grease. All new stainless inner cables with teflon lined outers. New brake hoods with Weinmann dual drop levers for comfort riding if preferred. New bar tape.
Better quality ribbed seat stem tube with beautiful San Marco saddle. Shorty stainless steel mudguards
Every part of
this bike has been carefully removed, cleaned checked and either serviced or replaced if not to as new standard. Then reassembled
to a very high standard and is in perfect working order.
A very low mileage (original chain reused and not stretched) example of this classic model. Rides beautifully – and looks simply stunning. Comes with accessory bike pump that correctly fits frame and period looking water bottle and holder.
You could not come close to building this bike for the price of the parts alone, ignoring all the hours of time to source the parts and then rebuild it.
If you are looking for one of the best out there – this is it!
Post to mainland UK only using Royal Mail or specialist bike delivery service, at buyers expense, or collection in person from Deal, (near Dover) in Kent.
Any question please ask – tend to respond eves. Check my feedback – you will not be dissapointed if you understand the value of this bike.
