I bought this last year set up as a single speed bike.

It's now been equipped with the current Shimano 105 drivetrain as a nod to the original Shimano 105 kit it would have had in the 1980's.

Frame was repainted by the previous owner. He assured me it was an original 531c Banana. I can't prove this, but the frame number confirms it as a 1987 bike built by the Raleigh Lightweight Unit.

Frame is in excellent, almost unmarked condition.

Wheels are Mavic Kysrium Equipe S. They run straight and true with no bearing play. Tyres are Continental Grand Prix 4 Season with little wear.

The following components were bought new and fitted in 2022

Crankset: Shimano 105 R7000 52/36.

Rear Derailleur: Shimano 105 R7000

Front Derailleur: Shimano 105 R7000

Cassette: Shimano 105 11 speed 11-28

Bottom Bracket: Shimano Ultegra

Gear Levers: Dia Compe ENE

The drivetrain works perfectly with the Dia Compe levers

Brakes are Shimano Ultegra 6500

Original Raleigh handlebars

SR Custom stem

SR Laprede seat post

Selle Italia Seta saddle

New brake and gear cables fitted

Pedals not included.

The bike is a pleasure to ride and gets more positive comments than any of my other  bikes.

Selling as I've just bought two more bikes and run out of space.

As pictured the bike is set up for me at 5' 10" with 32" inside leg

Please check photos to judge condition for yourself.

Bike can be viewed in Derby

Collection only, but I would consider meeting up within 50 miles for cost of petrol

Thanks for looking
