Eyeball this frame size???
 
The seller of this frame states that it is a 59cm. It is a 1985 Raleigh Super Course. However, they didn't make a 59cm, they made a 57 and a 60. So, either this one is a 57 or a 60.

From the pictures can anyone put this with the correct frame size?

I am dam near blind!! ;)

A 60 is a go for me.. ;)

I said 58 before I saw the 60s.

Edit: It's not a 57. Go with a 60.

I'm just kidding. That's what they called a 60cm.

Dankeschön!

60cm. That catalog size is center to top, so the seller probably measured c-c.

60

In looking at the specs in the 1985 Raleigh Catalog, they only made a 51, 54, 57, 60, 63...So, it had to be either a 57 or 60.. Everybody agrees that it is a 60.. My size. However, the seller has contacted me yet!! :cry:

Those two are my hearts, I tell you that.. ;)

However, on these 1985 Raleigh, if you see in my sig, I got 3 of them. If I could get the 85 SuperCross will have the complete set.. As you can see the addiction is strong with me.. BTW, the two Ironmans are Robbie Tune's builds.. ;)

BTW, the seller has not responded, so right now, I am just blowin in the wind.. :cry:

OH, we are supposed to be collecting SETS? Could someone please break that to my wife, she doesn't understand the need for more than ONE bicycle! ;-)

So that would make the top tube 6 cm thick.

cehowardGS 12-21-12 08:20 AM

Again, thanks for all the feedback on this. However, it looks like I won't be getting this frame. I contacted the seller 3 days ago, and nothing back. So, most likely it is gone. There could be that exception that the seller is away, but in cases like this, the seller would reply back, after getting two requests, that the item is sold.. Dam, I wanted that. :cry:

That would complete my set of 1985 Raleigh RACINGUSA Series, the complete set of 4.

Here are the THREE that I have now, all 1985 Raleigh RACINGUSA Series.

The Prestige, The Competition, and the Grand Prix.. The Super Course is the one that is missing..
