This one started life as a bit of a fettling, see what happens kind of thing. It's beginning to turn into something a bit more than that so time to start its own thread. I saw a frame advertised on eBay during lockdown. Not far away, big enough for me and at a decent price. Some dents in the...

I'm looking at a quite old (50s/60s ?) Raleigh model of my neighbour's. Can anyone tell me what model name it goes by, and approximatelywhen it may have been manufactured? It's been partially restored with non original parts, I think. The wheels are alloy, not steel and the tyres are certainly...

Could just use a bit of advice / reassurance to make sure I'm not potentially ending up with a lemon... Local recycling place has a Raleigh Max 24 junior MTB up for grabs for a pony. Seems to be a smaller version of the adult bike as far as I can tell. I think it's my size (or at least in the...

Sound frame professionally repainted in candy red (now with a few chips as shown). 1" threaded steerer, standard 68mm BB, 16 1/2" BB to top of seat tube, 17" top tube. Rear brake cable internally routes through top tube. Approx 11" axle to crown height

Parting with my 80s Raleigh Royal. Bought a few years ago and told it had only been ridden ten miles. The BB grease had turned to wax it had been stood that long. Cleaned out and new grease. It ran perfectly. Looks factory fresh. Looking carefully you might find a tiny mark or two. i can only...

I've been without a project for two weeks, and beginning to feel glum. So here's my next one bought from the local bicycle project. It is a fairly basic singlespeed Raleigh in original complete condition. My plan (which will certainly change) is to clean it up, hopefully keeping the original...

Being part way through resuscitating an elderly Raleigh MTB, from around 1990, into a Hybrid/Hack type bike, I will have to remove the cranks and strip, clean & grease the cup & cone bottom bracket, which has loads of play in it, my question is, if the BB has had it, will this be an English...

I picked up one of these the other day as I couldn't get on with my new road bike. I know we have some fans here and just wondered if someone could give me an age from this serial number sticker please?

So I've just bought my 4th Raleigh (I also have a Cameo, Courier and a Chiltern Lady). I cannot find much information on the Pioneer, especially the Pioneer Classic. Can anyone share any information or old brochures about this bike for me please? I believe its missing both mud guards and a...

Evening all 😊 Day 1. On checking my inventory, I actually found 3 R18s, each in varying states of decay. For one reason or another I selected a ‘Denim’ variant made in Nottingham in October 1980 (according to the frame number). The AW hub is also stamped 1980. So, I got it back to base and...

Massive long post, sorry. I have a Raleigh Amazon MTB from 1991. Frame and forks in good condition, other components tired. Paint and decals almost perfect, as I tend to look after things. It was my only bike for a while, then became the ‘holiday bike’ when in France, and finally it’s been in...

I decided to start the Royal today, my initial inspection showed that all the bearings need replacing and the crankset is at the end of it’s life with non removable chainrings with bent and broken teeth.

NO LONGER FOR SALE This was my fixie. Raleigh Grand Sport 531 from the early 1970s. Frame built by Carlton in Worksop.Weinmann brakes, Simple derailler. 55cm seatpost. Seatpost is free. BB has no play and turns freely. Frame has a few spots and scratches, but seems solid. £50 cash on collection...

I bought this two years ago with wrecked wheels and built it into a singlespeed. Now I have used the wheels on another project, and would like this to go to a good home. Its 55cm seatpost. Frame is marked Carlton, made in Worksop. I'm reluctant to post and pack, but realise I may need to...

Hi all Like the rest of the nation, people round my way are clearing out homes and garages and I’ve acquired this little number from the side of the street. Mechanically I’m already on top of what needs doing. However, I’ve never really worked on the cosmetics of a bike or vehicle. Unpainted...

I came across some old photos of an incredibly naive JoGLE that I did about 20 years ago, and it had photos of the bike. I have a love-'em-and-leave-'em relationship with bikes, I love them when I'm riding them regardless of how good or bad they are, but don't really miss them when they've gone...

Somebody linked me to this Chopper which came up on Fecesbook, but I don't remember ever seeing them with twist grip gear change, the ones we had were a lever on the crossbar.

Just picked this up this morning, late 1980's Classic 531 ST C usual huge frame! but a lovely bike. Campag record hubs, lots other nice upgraded stuff including front and rear pannier racks and Bluemells mudguards. Just needs a deep clean and service.

Hi I have a Raleigh Royal with something wrong with the bottom bracket but free to anyone who wants it. I live in Cornwall but can post out, which will cost around £25 - £36. Thanks Rich

As part of refurbishing my RRA I took off the bar tape to find a sea of corrosion damage. Their scrap ... Does anyone have a set of SR bars, preferably with a stem, for sale at a sensible price ? Wide is good ... And while we're at it SR 27.2 alloy seat pin ... .....

I've posted a bit elsewhere on the forum about this, but to shortcut a mega-post, I've done a Google Sites page on it here. You might want a cup of coffee before you start! Russ

My partner has a Raleigh Motus Tour almost a year old now I reckon. She said it now has a squeak that's got louder the past month or so, and I tried it today and it appears to be coming from the front and is only when pedalling (generally uphill) so it's not wheel related as no noise when...

Some weeks ago I popped in to a Julian House Charity Bike workshop. I was out shopping with my wife and was just curious as to what bikes they had. I wandered around but nothing really caught my eye until I spotted some frames in a corner . I noticed one frame had Reynolds 531 transfers on it...

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but as there’s the square root of feck all else to do at the moment I thought I’d take this old shitter apart and rebuild it. It cost a tenner. Today I’m going to start the refurbishment of a Raleigh Twenty I bought locally for £10.00. Its a basic version of the...

Not my usual thing but I quite like the loook of this https://www.2ememain.be/a/velos-velomoteurs/velos-hommes-velos-pour-homme/m1523103251-raleigh-ville-56cm.html?c=08c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr I know next to nothing about old Royales, any advice welcome.

Hi, don't know if its allowed but i would dearly love to know how much this frame is worth please??, i picked it up at an auction knowing it was too big for me but had some nice parts on that i am keeping, i have had an offer for £150 already and would just like to make sure i don't sell it on...

I've recently picked up an interesting, but as yet unidentified, Raleigh rod-braked 3-speed roadster. I'd hoped to have some pics up in the "show us your Raleigh" thread by now, but unfortunately an essential front tyre change has revealed the fork is a bit misaligned and needs some remedial...

I call it the urban assault rustbucket!

As documented here It’s a big bugger 25 inch frame. Collection near Didcot, Oxfordshire. £50.00.
