Hi
I'm not pretending I've gotten myself a hidden gem here, but I'm just trying to peg down the vintage (or not!) of this frame. I bought it because I fancied some old steel to relive my yoof in the 80s and when I saw the proportions of this one, I was smitten, regardless of what it actually...
To be honest it wasn’t in a skip it was leaning against a wall with a ‘free please take’ label on it.
I know nothing about BMXs except some years ago my cousin asked me to look out for a Raleigh Burner and or a Bob Harro so hopefully this is a bit of cosmic ordering?
A bit of research leads me...

Located near Manchester, England. Nothing to do with me.
Hi all,
I'm curious. What are the limitations (if any) of upgrading the groupset on a folding bike?
Could you, for example, do a 1x10 set up along the lines of a Shimano Deore groupset?
Thanks.
Hello all,
As some my recognize in my profile picture i now have an Raleigh Pioneer Commuter what i have found a begin 90'' model. (with Weimar brakes.) It drove very well for the past year and a half but unfortnuatlly it no has developed a long list of issues. As i can't do most repairs myself...
A short ride out on my Lenton, it is proving to be a very likable bike stable solid ride with a nice relaxed feel to it great for just ploding about just my type of bike, the only isue is the brakes are awful my rudge roadster has exactly the same leavers and calipers and work ok I've tryed...
Just finished the Raleigh Lenton i bought late last year , i posted some photos of it on here before i started the project , its all original i touched up the white lining on the frame and laquered it cleaned greased everything replaced most of the bearings and chain got some replacment...
Whilst I was looking at the Rider brand ?? the same seller mentioned that he had owned a Raleigh Royal from near enough new .
So once I had dismissed the Rider I asked to have a look at the Royal .
Big mistake as I ended up bringing it home .
Went to have a look at a "Rider" branded bike this afternoon that was advertised locally .
Can't find any info on it . Only stamping was 54 on the underside of the bottom bracket shell which equated with the size .
Headset was "rider" branded and had the same decal . Seat post was 26.4...
Some of you might be interested in this new cargo/utility bike from Raleigh. Seems to tick all the boxes for a reasonable cost.

Not sure if it will be available in the UK though.
Hi all - Jusr putting things right. The conversion I’ve just completed is a Raleigh 25” frame with a Ken Rogers Trike adaptor as I knew all along - yesterday’s senior moment!! The adaptor is stamped KGR 35581.
It is for sale - open to serious offers- come and have a ride on it!
Hopefully, more...
Hi - have completed my trike conversion. It’s a Ken Higgins Trike kit on a 70’s Raleigh (25” frame). It’s a bit of a homage to Ray Booty (if anyone out there remembers him - he was a phenomenal rider in the 50s/60s, Nottingham-based and multiple BBAR record holder as well as winning the 58...
I picked this up on ebay today. It was up for £150 or best offer so I put in a bid for £130 and the seller accepted. The guy worked in a main dealer body repair shop (Which is where I collected the bike from) and the sprayer there had sandblasted the frame back to bare metal, gave it a full...

Does anyone know where I can buy some replacement brake pads for my Raleigh Lenton I would like to use the original shoes that have removable pads ,found 1 or 2 on ebay but not the correct ones ,thought you guys might know where to look , they are 49mm long and 10mm across the shoe on the...
I bought a job lot of bikes, mostly for the Moulton, but as I began sorting out the others I became co fused by this old Raleigh. I believe the SA hub dates to 1939 but the frame number doesnt seem to tally with any particular year. It is udentical to most 1930s Sports models as far as I can see...

Anybody looking for a nice frame to renovate ?
I have this Raleigh / Carlton Worksop built one that at some time in its life the drive side rear stay looks to have been squashed a bit . There is a hole in the rear stay for some reason .

I realise that l might becoming slightly obsessed with Vitus but hey this is different ,its not a 992.
So l just bought the frame, forks, Stronglight BB and most importantly the seat post (of the correct size).
My plan is to build it up not as a replica of Mr Kellys' KAS but as a sort of...
Here is another bike I got with the Lenton. A Raleigh All Steel Bicycle. SA dyno rear hub, original pump, B66 saddle. Not sure what I'll do with this one as I have a Rudge of a similar age.
I picked up this Lenton Clubman earlier in the year, a bit sorry for itself but still saveable I think.
From the frame No. it appears to be '48 or '49. Though, the hub is dated '56.
It is unusual (to me at least) as it has a 3 speed Sturmey Archer combined with a 3 speed Simplex derailleur...
I have an old Raleigh Ascender, from 1993.
How hard and expensive would changing the gears be for a novice?
found this run down of the bike specs online http://www.ply.me.uk/bits_and_pieces/bike.html
would it be possible to go from the current 15 gears to 27 with nice low gears to help with...
So, I was going to link this into the 'for sale elsewhere' thread (mods - feel free to do so if you prefer) but thought it's a bit special and warranted some more attention.
The widow of Alan Oakley, head of design at Raleigh, has put up an archive of blueprints, documents and some rather nice...
