    Raleigh Team Banana Project

    I finally picked this up today, it’s been outside in a back garden for 12 months which hasn’t helped but the good news is that it’s 100% original even down to the reflectors, water bottle holder and supplying dealer sticker. Originally my plan was to modernise it with newer components but now...

    Raleigh Lenton brake levers

    I have been experimenting with drop bar levers on my Lenton, the brakes work better and the hand position /comfort is better too, it also looks more in keeping with a drop bar bike, the original Lenton ones are just flat bar levers, but i am thinking of putting the original ones back on to keep...

    Brief Review Raleigh Strada Electric

    After my thread of do I really need an e-bike, I decided that the overwhelming majority was that it was a good thing. A couple of friends also suggested it would help my motivation. I ended up (not without some faffing) with a Raleigh Strada Electric - at 50% off RRP. Unfortunately it turned...

    Carlton Bike Letter S stamped under serial no.

    I've tried and failed to get a clear photo. The serial number is pretty faint as the frame has been resprayed. I'm also unsure about the first 0, which could be either a 3 or an 8. Under the serial number there is stamped a single letter S. I've researched into this but couldn't find anything...

    New Project. Raleigh Scorpio.

    For about four weeks I’ve been walking the dogs past a house in my village that has had this bike sitting outside and unlocked and unloved. Today enough was enough and I knocked on the door and asked about it. Before I could finish the sentence the nice man told me to take it. It’s another...

    Abandoned Raleigh.

    This forlorn specimen has been locked up near to me for weeks. Can anyone identify it. It has a 531 frame but the decals are a bit worn off. Just out of interest I may put a tag on it and if the owner fancies selling it I would be interested . The paintwork needs attention, and the gearing...

    Rear dropout spacing on a vintage Raleigh?

    I still ride my 1984 Record Ace and have always found refitting the rear wheel a bit trickier than I've seen TDF mechanics or You tube videos showing the process. In '86 or ' 87 I replaced the 27" Weinmann wheels with 700c MAvic MA40s on Campag Chorus hubs. Having a bit of a practice following...

    Beat the scrap-men: Raleigh Ascender MTB

    Having had recent purchases go wrong on me - an Orbit 531c which was rusted and seized, plus a carbon wheel which has turned out to have a broken rim - I was suffering a confidence crisis in buying used items. So, en route to Manchester velodrome I passed two bikes with other items, did a quick...

    1947 Raleigh mystery colour

    I've posted about this bike before. I believe it to be a 1947 Sport model based in the frame number and date on the dynohub. I'm very confused about the original colour. I took off the head badge today to discover the original paint. It's a light teal colour. I cant fund this colour in...

    Could this be an early Raleigh Lenton?

    Further to another thread running I'm trying to ID a Raleigh. After a bit of rubbing down I have unearthed the decals. They seem to match the early Raleigh lenton decals, not the Sports model I had assumed. Your collective opinions would be appreciated. BTW the SA hub is 3 speed undated and the...
