The Raleigh Royal was a famous name in the companies stable for most of the 1980s but by the mid 1990s it needed a refresh. Along with the Randonneur it now used internally ribbed Reynolds 708 Tourist tubing while still featuring all the practicality of the multiple braze ons, extra spokes and traditional geometry. It’s a lovely example, and one in very good condition, although there is some minor pitting in a couple of places due to a few scratches on the top tube and very minor pitting on one seat stay top eye. There is also a very small dent on the top tube, but it is honestly a very minor non structural imperfection as you can see in the photographs, but is nonetheless of note. The components on the frame are in good condition, with the Sugino triple chainset offering a wide range of gears and the Shimano mechs giving solid and dependable shifting. It rides very smoothly, braking sharply and although you can feel it would take loaded touring in its stride, but its actually remarkably nimble unloaded. Seat Tube (C to T). Top Tube (C to C). 5 9″ – 6 0″. Shimano 1.37 x 24 tpi. Sakae Ringyo SR Custom 80mm. Rigida Alesa Alloy 700c (622mm). Shimano CS-HG20-7 7 Speed. Schwalbe CX Comp 30mm.
