got a lead on it bein' for sale. I'm not versed in frames of this vintage, I have not actually seen it yet personally. Is it a descent frame? What's it worth? I do know it's a "Made in England" Raliegh.

does the fork look a little bent to anyone besides me? when you see it in person, TheDL, check for buckling paint.
although what would you expect, from a "tinsel" frame? (hehe, sorry, usually i ignore typos but that one was pretty funny, given the context).

Thanks, I did...this model is not listed.
What would you (any of you) pay for this frame?

20-30 tubing is Raleigh's own cheap steel. It's not worth that much, methinks. Certainly it's probably going to be a pretty heavy frame. I don't know about any of the components. I know the Grand Prix was just a step up from the Raleigh Record, but I don't know what differentiates the Super Grand Prix.

I did a quick check, don't think he's seriously violating any rule. Also couldn't find anything regarding your role as forum hall monitor.
