This frame breathes history - the most important races were won on TI-Raleigh team bikes:
Jan Raas became World Champion the year this frame was made (1979), while Gerrie Knetemann had already won the World Championship in 1978 and Joop Zoetemelk went on winning the Tour de France in 1980.

UPDATE May 08: Looks cleaner now (ends of zip-ties cut off, milder seam between boards) and the freewheel has been changed, as requested

Completely amazing

Submitted by Italtrek on 12/30/2007.

Fantastic. I'm amazed such a frame exists as NOS. Only one picky point: even by '76 the professional/team professional used a 6-speed freewheel. They seem to be even easier to get than 5-speed on Ebay, if you want to be more correct. (Sheldon Brown's website has a '76 catalog with detailed specs for the professional and team professional, but there isn't a '79 catalog there. Still you could measure between dropouts, if it's 120 mm it's 5 speed, if it's 126 mm it's 6 speed.)

Hi Italtrek, thanks for the hint – you’re absolutely right, it should be 6-speed.
The build wasn‘t really meant to be perfect in a catalog-model sense, it was acquired frame-only anyway. The parts displayed are either 'show only' or just reflect my personal outfit preferences, particularly the clincher wheels don’t fit the original specs at all (btw: you’ll find more Raleigh catalogs here).
But I‘ll follow your recommendation and throw in a vintage Maillard 700 14-19 6-speed I have lying around [even if it isn‘t gold colored and I have a thing going for shiny golden stuff – hehe].

Beautiful stuff. Nice idea to put it on the wall, kind of "bike art work". Pretty unique!

Post some pictures of it when the paint is chipping and the chain in black, ride the hell out of that bike! Amazing find, but it will not be of any use, if you keep on having on the wall!

NO, it WON'T be ridden

Submitted by flowers on 05/01/2008.

When will you get it, this frame is nearly 30 years old NEW OLD STOCK, so it's a RARITY (and kind of valuable at that), which is why no one will ride it as long as it's in the family.
Look here, this is it's little brother whom you can actually see on the streets from time to time - my Raleigh Team rider.
