early Raleigh Record 531 in TI team colors,not sure about exact age but judging by the parts (all original and bought as such from second french owner) ,this is a 74-75 Raleigh Record.also noticeable is the yellow headtube instead of the more common black one. Parts included are a Raleigh engraved crankset,weinman brakes with carlton lever hoods, brooks leather,suntour retrofriction power shifters and suntour cyclone derailleurs.tubular rims from A.V.A.on Normandy high flange polished hubs (that look like new) and original Bluemel pump.

21/08/11: bike's been updated for touring:more practical clincher super gentlemen rims,Classic canvas saddle bag,perforated bartape,n.o.s.gold cablehousing,lightweight mudguards. took it on bike holiday to France,where it met another english classic;-)

seeing the team jersey along with the bike. Very good preservation of cycling history.

team jersey

Submitted by retrobiker on 07/17/2011.

its quite rare this one as its long sleeved, age has done its thing with it, seriously frayed ends and holes under the armpits make it useless for anything else but bedroom wall art;-)

Raleigh tried the retro theme before only a few years ago on oversized aluminium 'Hennie Kuiper'Raleighs. but it never sold as succesfully as the original steel team bike;-)
