Don't beat me too hard. I have never seen a "quality" Ted Williams in the flesh....

This is a Sport Racer. I can't see if it has 531 sticker and/or Made in Austria sticker. Lugs do look cool. I do admire the idea of it being made of aluminum and then there's the BS pricing "$150 $5,000".

I can't get a photo of the front of a Sport Racer that will load...

For the Williams above.
Driving me mental as I couldn't find a photo "head on" of the head tube. The photos I've seen of this model show really cool looking lugs.
Not sure if these were the 531 frame, Campagnolo equipped bikes I recall seeing in old ads.
Curiously, the old ads I saw look very similar to this one. Clearly the seatpost has been replaced - looks Sugino or Leprade not campy.
The oddity to me is that crankset. Original ads show what looks like the same cranks. Cranks should have been campy I believe but was campy still making cottered cranks in the '60's???

That was my first thought, but when I looked closer, I think it is just the cable guide.

these used a snap-in pin, part of the plastic guide molding, they were not the most durable.
Also just happens that the sliver-gray plastic (only color I ever saw for these guides) is fairly close in appearance to the aluminum BB shell of Vitus 979s.
I had a spare guide floating around in my spare parts bin for awhile, if it's still there I'll snap a pic and post it.

D'oh, I just snapped the Vitus guide on a bike I'm working on. If anyone has a spare, I'm obliged.

I've thought about how I could possibly purchase this bike at this point in my life (grad student, trying to keep expenses down, living in small apartment w/ girlfriend), and I just can't. And it's killing me.

Raleigh SBDU 753. Can't seem to find the catalog in full, but here's a low quality picture: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...3237353&type=3

edit: Found it. Looks like a custom frame request? Bottom right of the image

Hopefully someone here gets it and takes it out for a nice July 4th ride. Interestingly it looks like it comes with 28c tires with potentially room for fenders?

More about the girlfriend and finding room more than anything...otherwise I would rationalize the purchase no problem ;)

$400 for a Raleigh SBDU with 753 tubing? Just buy it already. NOW. You can eat beans and rice for the next month.

Haha we'll see. My current paid internship is about to end sooner than expected so I'll be holding off on any fun purchases until I find something new. As long as someone who respects the bike gets it rather than some college kid who runs it into the ground I'll be happy.
