I am selling a 1974 Raleigh Competition Mk.II Model DL 165. It came
to me from its original owner who bought it in 1975. It is 21 1/2"
(their smallest according to the catalog). Largely original, it has TA
cranks, Huret Jubilee derailleurs, Normandy hubs, Weimann Centerpulls
with Black hoods in new condition. It is from their Carleton factory
and is made with 531 tubing. He used the bike on an indoor trainer so
part of the underside of the top tube has been sanded and resprayed and
looks quite original with no decal damage. All the decals are intact,
although there has been a bit of fading on some. Rims are Mavic which
are not specked in the catalog. The saddle is a replacement but remains
a Brooks B17 narrow. Asking $425 plus the actual cost of shipping. I
will pack the bike to insure its safety. If anyone is interested, please
contact me off list.
