That Raleigh is worth 200$ at best.
If it was the Red/Black Reynolds 531 model, different story.

"New" 1998 Bianchi Premio - $300 (Far West)
Date: 2009-10-12, 3:46PM CDT
Reply to: sale-ngvwc-1418368278@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
This is a true time machine. I bought this 1998 Bianchi Premio from the original owner who bought it new and never rode it. It has been hanging in his garage since new!!! The parting flash is still on the tires and the chain and sprockets are perfectly clean. There are 2 tiny paint chips on the right seat stay, otherwise the paint and decals are perfect.
The bike has a 55cm frame and is built of Tange Infinity tapered double butted steel tubing with a steel fork. It is a true sport touring bike with center and bottom eyelets on the fork and top and bottom eyelets on the rear.It has a Sugino TGP110 triple crank 28/38/48, 7 speed cassette 13/28 with Shimano Deore LX front derailleur and Acera X rear, downtube index shifters. This is as close as you will ever get to buying a brand new 1998 Bianchi at a bargain price. Even all the reflectors are still on it. I live about 150 miles from Chicago, but would meet halfway on either I-80 or I-88.

Classic Shogun Katana road bike - $159 (Spencer)
https://worcester.craigslist.org/bik/1416440208.html
A classic Japanese-built Shogun Katana road bike, probably late 1980's vintage. I haven't ridden a bicycle in too many years and don't think I ever will again so it should go to someone who can appreciate the bike and its craftsmanship. Shimano Light Action SIS derailleur on a 6-cog cassette mated to a 2-cog Sugino GP130 crank (for 12 speeds total), Suze Sealed-Tech hubs/Araya 32H 700c wheelset, Sakau FX headset, Shimano SLR brakes, Tange Infiniti CR-Mo tapered double-butted tube frame. All top-notch components of the time and all stock build. I believe this is a 53cm frame, but not sure how to measure it. What I do know is that it's just a touch too small for my 5' 10" 195lb build.
All original, except for the Bicycle Alley water bottle and perhaps the Tailbones (soft) seat, but I don't know about that as this is the one that was on it when I bought it back in the mid-nineties.. Recent tires and tubes. There's a couple of nicks on the paint, but nothing is out of alignment or in any state of disrepair. This is one made before production was moved to Taiwan and soon after ceased altogether. Asking a very fair price for a roadworthy classic!

I am selling my Schwinn Tempo racing bike. I am the original owner, having purchased this bike new around 88/89. This was one of Schwinn's top of the line road racing bikes during that era, when Schwinn was still considered to be a serious bike manufacturer. I rode it for about two years on and off while in college and then put it in storage when my interests shifted to mountain biking. The bike comes equipped with all original parts including full Shimano 105 components. The only non-original part of the bike is the bar tape which I just purchased and rewrapped for selling the bike. Even the tires are the original ones that came on the bike, and they have very little wear. The bike has about 300 miles on it. After taking it out of storage I cleaned it up and gave it a tune-up. She's ready to ride. It is very clean and in perfect working condition. There are a couple minor things I should mention. The wheels are fairly straight but slightly out of true. In their current condition they are very rideable with no brake rub, but they could probably benefit from a professional re-truing from a local bike shop Also, on the top tube, two of the braze-on cable guides have been knocked off due to my clumsiness while putting the bike in and out of the back seat of my car before I finally invested in a car carrier. This bike has never been crashed or downed. I am also including the water bottle cages, a Paramount computer, and a Zephyl frame mounted pump.
As far as the size: the stand-over height from the floor to the top of the top tube at 33.5 inches. I took two measurements on the seat tube length... one from the center of the bottom bracket to the bottom of the top tube at 22.75 inches, and the other from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube at 23.75 inches.
I am asking $300 obo. If you have additional questions or would like more pictures please feel free to ask.

Classic Shogun Katana road bike - $159 (Spencer)
https://worcester.craigslist.org/bik/1416440208.html
A classic Japanese-built Shogun Katana road bike, probably late 1980's vintage. I haven't ridden a bicycle in too many years and don't think I ever will again so it should go to someone who can appreciate the bike and its craftsmanship. Shimano Light Action SIS derailleur on a 6-cog cassette mated to a 2-cog Sugino GP130 crank (for 12 speeds total), Suze Sealed-Tech hubs/Araya 32H 700c wheelset, Sakau FX headset, Shimano SLR brakes, Tange Infiniti CR-Mo tapered double-butted tube frame. All top-notch components of the time and all stock build. I believe this is a 53cm frame, but not sure how to measure it. What I do know is that it's just a touch too small for my 5' 10" 195lb build.
All original, except for the Bicycle Alley water bottle and perhaps the Tailbones (soft) seat, but I don't know about that as this is the one that was on it when I bought it back in the mid-nineties.. Recent tires and tubes. There's a couple of nicks on the paint, but nothing is out of alignment or in any state of disrepair. This is one made before production was moved to Taiwan and soon after ceased altogether. Asking a very fair price for a roadworthy classic!
