any leads please get in touch.
Dude no way! I found a Picnica like the blue one (but in average condition, nowhere near as nice as that one) a little while ago and never thought i would see any others. I'm sure there would be a market for them especially when they look as good as those two (a matching pair might be worth more again).Isildur wrote:

Hi Alistar,Wakatuki wrote: It's a Raleigh TYPE 8906 - 531 Club 62cm or so I believe from matching the paint job, running Bio-Pace and Exage 300 elsewhere. The bottom crank has just started to creak I think a bearings going. Please tell me this is replaceable.... With the saddle bag she weighs in at 10kg. Not bad at all.
A link to the original Catalogue page, I can still smell the ink. Sorry if that’s a rule break.

Thanks will get onto that. I presumed that the missing stickers were missing from degradation. I must admit never spotted the sloping crown.Hi Alistar,
I have the Raleigh type 8906 Club 531 frame that is in the catalogue.
Your frame is different to mine and the catalogue in several ways.
1. sloping crown on the front fork, rather than lugged
2. frame decals are different, on down tube and fork.
3. no Raleigh name on top of seat stays
4. no model name
5. Raleigh badge is later
I thinks yours is a later year and sold as a complete bike rather than just a frame.
If you look closely at the Shimano components you will see two letters.
This is a date stamp from the factory and can help id the date of manufacture.
Also look for a frame number. This can reveal where it was built, year and month.
Google for both of these code breaking lists.
It is a very nice bike and will look better with some TLC.
regards

Here it is, 99% finished (just needs gluing).vaeske wrote:very naise indeed. okay now show us more
