Gugiefied Raleigh Competition 58cm
 

Singer, Weigle, Guglielmana Raleigh Competition 650b Randonneur conversion.

SOLD

I sadly have to bite the bullet and admit that I am too tall for this, which was initially planned as a "forever bike" for me. From the time I bought the frame, I thought "that seems pretty large, just a smidge under 60cm," which is what I figured my size was.

Since then, I have acquired some 64cm frames and instantly realized they fit me like a glove. The randonneuses got ridden less and less. Ignorance is bliss I guess, because it still rides like a dream, but I can feel the "too small" now in a way I never could before.

I still have to take some more recent photos. For now, I'm putting the frame/fork, VO Rinko headset, Mafac Raid brake set, Soma rear rack and gugie custom front rack, Simplex fluted seatpost and Mavic fluted stem up for $500 plus shipping. Contact me for other components or the full broke price.

Ooof, having to part with this has got to hurt....

That is a really nice concert of parts, model and color. Really. Dang.

This photo isn't current; it now has a Simplex fluted seatpost, Mavic fluted stem, CLB levers and an Ideale saddle.

I have a Sachs New Success derailleur set that was maybe going to go on it as well.

Also, I think the whole cockpit needs to be included, since I made the most French bar end plugs I could come up with:

Still! What is not to like :-)

Hmmm, trouble brewing, what is the top tube on that? Looks 57 ish to me.

I love the concept of the coins as bar plugs. It has real potential and has my gears awhirr.

Seat tube is 23" CTC and top tube is 22" CTC.

Here's the current levers. The correct barrel adjusters are shipping from France as we speak, so those might need to be sent along one I get them.

Oh, and the headset is actually a mismatch: top is Velo Orange Rinko, bottom is some Specialized needle bearing. I can send all the parts along for both headsets in case you want one or the other.

Sent a PM… considering I just bought another frame off here, if this goes through send me any and all ideas for keeping my better half happy… should be a one in / one out scenario so should be salvageable… /s

Whats going out? Haha

Wanted to wait until I heard back so I didn't jinx it. Plan is for my LeMond (a 650B conversion) to be on the chopping block once parts are swapped. I'll miss mellow yellow (the actual name of the fingernail polish hue that matched the paint).

Oof. What a beaut.

SOLD.

Any other components you see here are probably up for grabs, so shoot me a message.

Congrats to the buyer! Turns out a little small for me so saved me some injury from kicking myself.
