Green really goes with those woody fenders: anyway, the photo again, I thought was very picturesque; I grew up in the Southwest but have relatives in Minnesota where I have been for the past several years. I've even biked a few of these winters but some of the summer scenes are just so nice like the one with that Raleigh.
They work well, are reasonably light, and are a great conversation starter. Yeah, I would like to talk to the guy who built that RGP - we probably have a lot in common. I don't build bikes to sell (yet?), but if I did, I would probably use the exact same formula.

Is that the DeRosa listed in CO for a long time. What is wrong with it? If not that is cheap,for a SR equipped DeRosa.

Impossible to tell condition of frame/components from that pic. I'd be waiting for more pics/info before I wasted any time. Perhaps others are feeling the same.

Someone posted a bike in NJ with the gargantuan knob shifters bike that was at a high price, say in the $500 area, that was some time ago. Maybe that was a Golden Arrow too?
Here is a bike with the big knobs at only $100 on the Fresno CL, Tsunoda, Golden Arrow head badge:
Mens 27 inch Racing Bike
Price is firm, well below average price. Golden Arrow Make. Frame is in good condition, tires and tubes are new. Rides great! Please call or text
More photos at link. A little tin foil for the rust may be needed, nothing looking too serious.

That one is nice, but RD replaced. Sure, better dropouts, great paint, but ... $600 seems optimistic to me. $400 and the original RD and I'd buy it. Mine's a really damn nice ride.

This is Weird...
I do a search of our local CL everyday with "Raleigh, 531" as parameters. I can't buy one at the moment, but I always have to look - you know how it is. Anyway, for weeks now there have been between six and eight ads up there, from Lentons to Internationals to Comp GS (whatever that is) - but today I ran the search, and they were all GONE! 
Does that happen a lot where you folks are? Does somebody just swoop in and buy up all the bikes of a certain make, vintage, or style? Or is it aliens?

Congratulations. What a gorgeous bike. I had a 1992 Litespeed Ultimate which had an excellent ride. I'll own another titanium bike again someday.
Offering more than asking price is often a brilliant strategy. I saw an item way underpriced on CL once, called the seller, and was informed that he already had a buyer lined up. I said if the sale didn't work out, I'll buy the item for more than the ask. The item was delivered to my house within a half hour
