Offered to CR members are some interesting frames and a number of books which I know are favourites with CR members.
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.
All prices are in UK GBP Frames cost 80 GBP to ship to the USA, 100 GBP to ship to Australia/New Zealand and 11 GBP within the UK.
With the pound being low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. Paypal is quoting 1.55$ to 1 GBP.

Raleigh produced a lot of frames in Team colours in the 1970s and 80s.
This is one of the Team Replica frames produced in the Lightweight unit
after it moved to Nottingham and was built in 1984 - it seems it was
sold in 1985 as it has the Reynolds 50th anniversary tubing decal on the
down tube. These were built in small batches to order and were made from
Reynolds 531C tubing. This one is in sound condition though the paint
has suffered a little. Careful retouching would make this frame look
quite presentable. 85 GBP

clearances. The paintwork is in generally excellent condition with only
a small number of marks none of which are at all obtrusive. 125 GBP
