    Folks,

    Someone was selling a 1980's Raleigh Road Ace on donedeal - the ad is gone (and so is the bike possibly!) but I'm just wondering if anyone would have a contact to the seller?

    Cheers,

    Brendan

    Ah Rob,

    If only 'has' was 'have', '1990' was '1980' and '....' was 'your for free'!

    I had a Raleigh Road Ace with Shimano 600 Select in the mid/late 1980s. Great bike. Then I learnt to drive and found a woman so sold the bike. In hindsight it was the sorriest sale I ever made :(

    If I find the seller I won't be telling anybody :D

    Indeed Crosstown,

    I rode Alpe d'Huez on mine - I just had the frame and the nascent Shimano 105 and other bits and pieces:

    Here's hoping we all get reunited!

    Hi Brendan, just had a quick Google on that done deal advert. The only result was for a 61cm Road Ace frame. Is this the advert you're talking about?

    That's the one! Is there a way of getting more info out of donedeal on it?

    I'm going for the large frame as it would suit my bro in law but also be in my collection. I have a Peugeot Centenary which is loaded with the French equivalent parts of the time.

    Of course is someone has a 22" frame, don't be shy!
