The Raleigh professional has always been considered a wonderful steel frame dating back to the early 70s. This is a later model from 2001 is constructed of Columbus zona tubing. Many custom frame builders favor zona steel tubing above others. Its one of my favorites as well. It creates a frame about the weight of a Columbus SL frame, but one much stiffer and stronger. For riders above 175 where Columbus SL and even SLX are a bit to soft, zona tubing gives all the stiffness you need. I have gotten many of these frames over the years for my friends who were heavy and needed a stiffer bike and they all loved them. Zona frames are hard to find, custom ones are about $2k. Used ones on ebay 500-700 usually. This Raleigh, built of the same steel, and built very cleanly, is worth only half that as Raleigh's built after the mid 80s are not considered collectable. So when I want a zona tubed bike, I always get these Raleigh's because they are cheap and ride as good as any other zona bike, and they are made very nicely, this was Raleigh's top of the line steel frame in 2001 and the best frame they ever made of a modern nivachrome steel, which is much better material than the cromoly used in Columbus SL or the steel used in Reynolds 531. 

Fork is high quality carbon fiber, made by Columbus.

If someone has a 57cm of one of these, I would do a trade. I want one of these frames, but this one is just a bit big for me.

No dents, rides great, has some scratches, nothing serious.

Measures 59cm center to center, 62 cm to the top of the extended seattube, and has a 58cm top tube.

Rear spacing is 130mm. Takes an English Threaded bottom bracket. Good Columbus headest.
