Description

Here is an original 1970s-1980s RALEIGH Technium 12-SPEED road bike with 27" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing purple/lavender and white 2-tone colored factory paint. If you like better quality vintage road bikes, this may be a great bike for you. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!

*This bike has a cool mens butted tubing Technium "Aluminum Advance Composite Technology" MADE IN USA road bike butted tubing frame and forks with original paint and decals, Sakae SA aluminum 3-piece cranks, aluminum Drop Style racing handlebars, Raleigh aluminum neck, low frame mounted twin stick shifters, Suntour front and rear derailleurs, cool Christophe Strap type pedals, aluminum Seat post, (not frozen in place) Sella Royale seat/saddle, (material is somewhat untucked on the bottom) Dia-Compe Brake calipers, and more! This bike appears to be mostly original parts from when it was new. (see pics and be your own judge)

*Includes some FREE BONUS ACCESSORIES! Water bottle cage, air pump, and speedo shown. (untested)

*The tires are 27x1 1/4". They are slightly newer style tires and do hold air. The bike has lightweight aluminum rims front and rear with QUICK RELEASE front and rear hubs!

*The bike is an original 12-SPEED and the gears do operate. (I love the "hidden" cables on this one!) The hand controlled brakes are operable. (May need fine tune adjustment or possible cable replacement)

*DIMENSIONS This one is a HARD TO FIND size for a tall rider! The standover height is approx 33 1/2". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 33 1/2". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 23". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22". The bike will accomadate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.

*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is not bad for its age. The paint looks respectable for a 30+ year old bike! (LOVE original paint bikes. has chips scratches etc but has survived better than many) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (Most every used bike out there seems to) Seat post seems to be stuck. (some penetrating oil and patience usually takes care of it) If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail. Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you offer.
SHIPPING NOTE! Due to this bike having such a tall frame, sometimes the place that packs for me has to get creative to get these in a box that will fit into UPS size requirements. Usually they remove both wheels and pack upside down to protect the cranks. They pack them safely and have done a number of these for us with success. Just wanted to give you a FYI for how the bike may arrive.

*This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price

*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!

*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY so offer early and don't miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.

*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you offer. Keep in mind you are offerding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.

*By offerding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the sale listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you offer regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.

*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.

*SHIPPING COSTS: Fed Ex, USPS, as well as UPS have recently raised their shipping rates due to the higher cost of fuel. Sorry for the slight increase in shipping costs.

*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you offer as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx $199.95. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. This i the best deal I can get to ship to these locations. Please do not offer if this is unacceptable. I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can. If you have a friend or family member in the lower 48 states, I can ship to them for the amount stated in the listing. THANK YOU!
