If it's 63 or 64 cm, I'm probably going to buy it.
My wife is going to throw me or the bikes out of the house if I don't stop acquiring them. I can't resist a 63 or 64 road bike, especially from the 80s or before (oh the curse of being 6'4"). Raleigh 480 Technium. I got this one for the frame only, but there's some things I may keep. SN indicates it was built 25 June 1986 (I saw Leo Kottke for the first of ten times 3 days earlier). What a grease collection this one has. I may keep the bullhorns, but the crummy shifters and that saddle must go. Save the tires, handlebars, shifters, saddle, and brake levers, it appears to be all original, including the hubs, rims, and freewheel (and dork disc). Haven't seen SunTour LePree in a while (I can't adjust the text size!!).
