Lightweight Raleigh "Competition" singlespeed racer, in dark wine red and 531 Reynolds tube set!
- absolute rarity in colour and component composition
- Sugino SR crank handle
- Pelisser high flange hub set
- new San Marco Rolls saddle
- Excellent top condition after extensive reconstruction
The frame is made of lightweight Reynols 531 tube and was handmade in England, some paint flaking has been repaired, the sleeve hearts are repainted! The wheels have been re-centered and run smoothly, the gear ratio is with 52 front and 18 rear very comfortable to ride, the screw hub is equipped with a freewheel, so no fixgear! Weinmann 405 brake calipers with new Dia Compe brake shoes were used for the brake system, so they pack very well. This rarity was completely rebuilt; all bearings were checked for wear and re-lubricated with "white Teflon grease", adjusted and run "as smooth as butter". A charming old-school racer for the "big" man ...
