Just noticed this Raleigh Royal frame on eBay, with brazed-on fittings for cantilever brakes...

If you're in or near Liverpool and could pick it up, it would be a very nice bargain. I'd go for it myself if I hadn't already bought one locally last year for £45 - mine is in slightly poorer cosmetic condition but did include a good fitted headset, and after I built it up it's a very nice tourer.

Update: It's damaged, see below

Pity about the damage, looks nice though, also looks larger than 22.5?

Actually, mine measures just under 23" (centre of bb to centre of top tube at the seat post), and the head tube is about the same size as that one.

But it does seem to be a slightly unusual frame with a higher than normal bb - mine's an inch higher than my other two steel road bikes.

Now this is how it could look with a bit of tlc, also could be interesting to see who much it sells for at present offers start at £65.

Oh, yes, that's a lovely one - same Biopace triple that I fitted to mine, and nice looking quill pedals (for those of a certain age who prefer such things). First thing I'd do, though, is shorten those brake cables before I got my head caught in them ^_^

Anyone shopping in W. Yorks? https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/vintage-bikes/1277967547 Various nice steel, I particularly like the Carlton but there may well be a couple of other gems in there too...
