I saw this beautiful bike siting on top of the Systeme U teamcars on August 15, 1988 when the tour of Holland ( Ronde van Nederland) departed in my home town Groningen, Netherlands. I also talked to Laurent Fignon on that occasion. This two time Tour de France winner had a lot of charisma. He's always been my favourite rider together with Bernard Hinault. The following year he would lose the Tour to Greg Lemond with an 8 second gap.
Beautiful recreation. Incredible that the Time Pedals and cleats are so hard to find in Europe. I learned not long ago that after the founder of Time Le defi died, Time was purchased by an Italian company. I still ride my 35 year old Time Pedals and shoes, they were and still are the answer for my cycling knee problems.
I’m learning that equipment from the past is definitely built better and built to last, Im currently selling my 11 speeds and dropping back down to 9. Thanks for watching and your support
One of my most favourite cycling pictures shows Fignon in the yellow jersey on a mid stage breakaway with Charly Mottet riding the beautiful Dynatech frame.
What a beautiful bike.....and I just love those Delta brakes.Whoever did the restoration deserves alot of praise, this one needs to be eyes only. Thanks for posting Andy. John from Canada.
Thanks John I have the bike in my possession as its one of the bikes featured in the Calendar Im doing. i feel a lot of responsibility having in my possession it really is something else. Thanks again Andy
Very very nice.My first bike was a gold RAZESA also with Reynolds 753 back in 1990.It was from ZOR cycling team and the owner was Jose Luis Lopez Cerrón ex-pro and now the President of the Spanish Cycling Federation.
Wow....I don’t suppose you still have the bike sounds amazing. Love hearing viewers personal stories amazing 😉 thanks for watching and the support all the best Andy
Razesa was a very common brand here in Spain in the early nineties but I think it closed its doors shortly after.I had also a Timetrial Razesa (I don't know how you call this kind of timetrial-frame bikes in Spain we call them "Cabra" which means "Goat" in English) from the Seguros Amaya 1993 Pro Cycling Team with Reynolds 653.The thing is that the last coach of the Spanish National Team (Javier Minguez) had a bike shop (Ciclo Samy) here in Valladolid and at the end of every season he used to sell some of them.Sorry from my English and Greetings from Spain.
By the the way I don't have any of them.I sold them long ago (by 1998) to buy some Campagnolo parts.I am no longer a rider but I do love cycling and these videos of the 90's remind me of good times.I still have some fotos of the Razesa's but I think TH-cam don't allow pics in the comments (I am not sure).Only a few people know that the first Tour de France that Miguel Indurain won used a TVT carbon but also used a Razesa.
Thanks for tuning in and watching I must of been around 15 years old when the Raleigh Super U team came in, a lot of cycling memories Thanks again Andy
I built racing frames in the 1980's mainly Columbus SL and Reynolds 531 and 653, I knew a few licensed 753 builders, takes a lot of skill to braze that tubing.
What a bike! It is easy to forget how close some of those machines came to being a toss-up between technology and art. They exemplified the last stage of lightweight lugged steel absolute race machines before al and cf took control. Interesting to note the use of clinchers.
Honestly I feel its a real shame with some of these modern bikes, so dull compared to these classics. Thanks for the comment and watching all the best Andy
Bicicletas de acero artesanales ligeras e indestructibles belleza pura como un fino caballo de carreras gracias por llevarnos al pasado con estos recuerdos.
Really enjoy your videos especially highlighting the vintage Raleigh lightweights. I just purchased a near mint 84 Raleigh Road Ace with all the og parts (you could use it but I live in France). Would be nice to see an 84 Raleigh Competition and a Dawes Imperial. Also the Holdsworths of that era would be nice too. Keep up the excellent work.
I remember very well the abbadon of my hero in 80s FIGNON in TDF of 1990. I bought the jersey Castorama in Paris in 1998, and i still have it. Very nice video, very nice bike. I would like to know the weight of it.
Thanks for watching and the support. Sorry I did not get the weight of the bike. We do have some reproduction mitts to go with your jersey though. Available with FREE worldwide shipping www.bikeituk.club thanks again Andy
Andy :)loved this short on Raleigh's history, am pretty sure this is the first time i heard of this model,beautiful indeed and loaded with campy and goodies. i like the new location but needs a sound check, sometimes was too low, mostly while you did the narrative and were not in the picture, perhaps echo cause its such a large locale and pretty mt but looks great, thank you for sharing . Cheers J
Absolutely stunning bike...Very authentic build with pro peleton provenance. Unfortunately most of the consumer Dyna-Tech bonded framesets literally fell apart...
OMG !! Amazing !! I love it ! Gerald O'Donavon was head of Carlton Cycles at first, I think, but then when bought by Raleigh he did the high-end Raleigh frames. I think it's a shame the Carlton name was dropped. Anyway, I'm a massive fan of Raleigh, especially the '80s Reynolds frame bikes. Only a 753 Panasonic would better this, IMO.
Excellent. Thank you ! 753 was THE tubing to have back then (yes, I know there was some Italian tubing available also). I had a look on Raleigh's website today. Not sure what's happened to their high-end carbon range of bikes. They had a number of cycles ranging up to £6000 or so. Now the most expensive is 'only' £1500.
Yes if you could find a 1973 Raliegh RRA , only 500 were built , Reynolds double butted frame , stays & forks Stronglite cranks, simplex SLR mechs Wienmman 500 brake set Brooks Pro and a white frame and forks with 5 yellow bands hand pin striped in black on the seat tube with the head tube in yellow. Oh' tubular AVR rims . The frame is actually a Carlton TT Flyer and including mine I have found only 26 others. I would love to see your synapses of one. Thanks
Im sorry honestly I just cant turn them around fast enough, they havn't stopped I picked up a Trek only a couple of days ago to do. Coming sooon promise. All the best Andy
I bought one of these frames so if you had any problems with it you could call the raleigh racing department of the factory talk to them and they would gladly help you
Thanks for watching and sharing your personal experience nice to hear of the level of customer service Raleigh Bicycles offered at this top level. All the best Andy
They really are pieces of art! I must admit the modern rides do look dull and bland compared to back then. Thanks for the comment and support all the best Andy

What a great bike. Nice change of pace as well Andy, nice to see you do something different. If I could pass a comment - your voiceover wasn't quite as fluid as your other videos, and the volume levels seemed a bit off. Just a comment that I hope will help you with future videos like this pal
+Ryan Batt Your right mate, I could do with investing in a mic, the place was a big disused warehouse so had a lot of Ecco! The middle part was just from the phone mic. 👍thanks for watching Andy
Next month im possibly buying a vintage Peugeot that looks similar to the one you restored. Hope i dont have to restore much, by the looks of it only the saddle needs changing, and a new chain as it is rusted. Other wise it looks great, maybe a touch up on the paint as it is chipping, but no rust on the frame so far.
I had a boxful of Ciclomasters - pink, black and red. Various models, too. You could get them for a song in the early 2000's. Cleaned out the garage and pitched them all. Poor choice, I know.
I have a Dyna Tech 755 that's been sitting in the shed for 15 years!!! After seeing these videos I've been inspired to try to restore it. Can I get the original de cals?? I know the one on the seat tube is damaged the bike needs a lot of tlc!
Hi thanks for tuning in and I am glad you find them inspiring to restore your own bike. Regarding the decals I generally start on eBay then do a search on Google Raleigh Dyna Tech decals. Good luck & Hope this helps Andy
Andy, How about some information about how the bike survived and it's recent history? I.E. how you came across it and what condition it was in when found.
I think the owner said it was found in France in a sorry state, I have it in my possession because its been used in the photo shoot with the Girls for the Calendar. I've been dyeing to have a go but it was a brand new group set and its never been used. Thanks for tuning in Andy
you have one factory of campagnolo delta break's :) . Excelentes máquinas , muy bueno tu canal, I'not speak english ,very good Chanel and excellent machines .
Dear Andy, the narration lacks fluency. It doesn't matter when you're on screen, but once we just have the bike and your voice, a fluent narration will provide a bit more polish to an otherwise well produced video. Thanks for making videos, Andy. I especially like the content about the manufacturer's history.
+Ambrose Gibbons thanks for the tip ans Nicely put, learning never stops 👍Jack of all trades master on none comes to mind 😂it's mad spinning plates mate, been learning and writing code this week for the site which will be up soon! Thanks again Andy
I meant to ask you and forgot, what do you know about Raleigh's super Grand Prix? am looking at a frame set headset included Tange 5 and it has some fancy seat stays only one tube into the seat tube then becomes 2 for the stays, thanks for anything you can share on it
If your o. FB maybe try the groups Steel is Real and a like. I’m sure the owner of this ride got the plate from there. I hope this helps all the best Andy

Can you find any tt funny bikes? A guy at my high school in 1986 who was a tri athlete had a funny bike with a 24" front wheel 700c rear sloping top tube bull horn handlebar Shimano 600 groupset steel bike. We all though it was out of this world
Tim I am with you, yes I'd love to I'll keep my eye open for one. Loved some of them old designs shame all the ruling came in. Thanks for the comment pal all the best Andy
Tim I am with you, yes I'd love to I'll keep my eye open for one. Loved some of them old designs shame all the ruling came in. Thanks for the comment pal all the best Andy
Thanks Andy. They were very rare here in Australia before cycling became popular. I have an old Columbus slx Viner super record from those days that cost me $1500 in those days 32 years ago. It has the very first campagnolo clipless pedals. I still ride it occasionally
My email address can be found in the about section on the TH-cam channel. Send some pics plus your location and we can take things from there all the best Andy
I had one cannot remember the metal code ie 753 cracking frame to ride and was getting into racing and got knocked over on a bend and it cracked at the seat stays got it replaced sold it spent my redundancy money on it as well ended up with a 653 Ribble had it for years .
Love all the vids you do but please pronounce the brand names properly for example Campagnolo is pronounced as it's written, not campagnolia as you say ... Small gripe really just feel it takes away from the quality of your content.
Thanks for watching, OK I will take that as being constructive its a hard thing to do when you have said it that way for over 30 years, their are different pronunciations across Europe and after watching a couple videos I see their is a difference between the UK and the US the way they are pronounced in English.
BikeIt UK I'm English I don't think it's a us/uk difference. Maybe I'm being picky about this but the way it's written is the way it's said. I don't mean to offend you. This is a critique not a criticism, your content is excellent and you have thought me many interesting facts about older bikes and teams. I just feel to add more quality and kick on to the next level the correct pronunciation of all brands featured is important .
JAMES6Y I know I'm being a pedant but the vids are always interesting and informative. I feel this tiny mispronunciation takes away from the overall quality.
Gorgeous - I miss bikes like these - works of art
Yes indeed thanks for watching and the support 👍
Why can't bikes be like that these times?? I really miss that time.
Regina cassettes sooooooo durable. :-D
+Unix Based yes it is beautiful Raleigh I've been so tempted to have a go 🚴thanks for watching and the support Andy

I would of only been about 14 so not that far away from you. Thanks for tuning in Andy

Man, I love learning from experience and seeing classic bikes! As usual, a pleasure. Best in everything.
Thanks Julie for tuning in and commenting , thanks for the support Andy
Very nice video (as usual) and amazing bike indeed. Bit of a sound problem though. Carry on showing us pieces of bike history
+glasny yes sorry about the sound on this one more to come though promise 👍
Very nice bike, love the paint and the look of the bike.
Thanks for tuning in and watching I must of been around 15 years old when the Raleigh Super U team came in, a lot of cycling memories Thanks again Andy
Incredible restoration and attention to detail. I was/still a big fan of Systeme U and their striking bikes.
+Ian Fisher yes it really is something else. As you know I have a real soft spot for a Raleigh myself. 👍they don't make them like they used to
I built racing frames in the 1980's mainly Columbus SL and Reynolds 531 and 653, I knew a few licensed 753 builders, takes a lot of skill to braze that tubing.
Hello yes its probably why Raleigh moved away from Reynolds and used their own tubing, thanks for sharing and tuning in. All the best Andy
is it because you have to be extra good at brazing with silver? (They used silver right?)
christl301 I
Yes a silver alloy usually 40 to 50 persent
Big fan of your site and always look forward to you new restoration projects I raced in the 80's so can relate to many of your projects.
Beautiful bike thanks so much a real piece of art
Thanks for watching and the supporting comment 👍
Only thing missing Andy was you sporting the kit! :)
You know I had all the Raleigh kit there as well...maybe next time more to come thanks Andy
Wow! an amazing example and superb workmanship, thanks for sharing Andy...
Thanks for tuning in, all the best Pal
Great video Andy. It would be great to see one of Merckx's Faema team bikes from 1968, pre intro of Campag brakes.
I have one of those to hand which will be in the Calendar watch this space..coming soon. Thank Andy
Stunning bike.
Yes, this was a viewers bicycle used in our Calendar one year. It was one bike I didn’t want to give back. Thanks for watching Andy
Those campy brakes alone are worth a bomb!
Yes they are and going up all the time.
beautifull, i have a Geliano (Francis Quillon build) from same era
Wow nice 👍
That was a great find! Thanks for sharing this beautiful bike!
Glad you enjoyed the Raleigh 753 Castorama Road Bike Video. Thanks for the support 👍
Beautiful bike
Thanks for watching 👍
What a beautyful bike 👍👍
Thanks 🙏
What a bike! It is easy to forget how close some of those machines came to being a toss-up between technology and art. They exemplified the last stage of lightweight lugged steel absolute race machines before al and cf took control. Interesting to note the use of clinchers.

Very Nice bike! I have a Greg Lemond team Z bike with Campa C record with delta breaks
Wow 😮 stunning bike thanks beautiful bike. I personally grew up riding my bike with that Kit on. 👍

Thanks for the support
Your research astounds me! Keep up the good work!
+gary2700 thanks for your support 👍it's appreciated
Really enjoy your videos especially highlighting the vintage Raleigh lightweights. I just purchased a near mint 84 Raleigh Road Ace with all the og parts (you could use it but I live in France). Would be nice to see an 84 Raleigh Competition and a Dawes Imperial. Also the Holdsworths of that era would be nice too. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you for your words of support. I have a very nice Eddy Merckx lined up from around that era which you may enjoy. All the best Andy
I remember very well the abbadon of my hero in 80s FIGNON in TDF of 1990. I bought the jersey Castorama in Paris in 1998, and i still have it. Very nice video, very nice bike. I would like to know the weight of it.
Thanks for watching and the support. Sorry I did not get the weight of the bike. We do have some reproduction mitts to go with your jersey though. Available with FREE worldwide shipping www.bikeituk.club thanks again Andy

Thanks pal yes great location put yes I need a Mic in there as its a vast space.
Well, it didn't think you'd get to ride it. But, that would have been great to watch.

Fantastic video thanks but you forgot to weigh the bike. Thanks again fantastic.
Thanks for watching and your comment

Cheers fella
Wow nice bike
would like to see you restore a Bridgestone RB1
+Martin Rohm thanks for the comment on the Raleigh. I'll have to keep my eye open for one for you. Thanks for the support Andy
Many of the components on this bike are not Campagnolo Record but Campagnolo Chorus. Nice bit of history to this and excellent video as always though.
Thanks for watching and the support which components? As far as I was aware it all looks like Campagnolo C-Record 2nd generation. Thanks Andy
OMG !!
Amazing !!
I love it !
Gerald O'Donavon was head of Carlton Cycles at first, I think, but then when bought by Raleigh he did the high-end Raleigh frames. I think it's a shame the Carlton name was dropped.
Anyway, I'm a massive fan of Raleigh, especially the '80s Reynolds frame bikes. Only a 753 Panasonic would better this, IMO.

My email address can be found in the about section on the TH-cam channel. Send some pics plus your location and we can take things from there all the best Andy
please please, don't make this into a fixie ,,, like you did with the Peugeot ........
They all broke
Yes the bonding was prone to failing. Thanks for watching
I had one cannot remember the metal code ie 753 cracking frame to ride and was getting into racing and got knocked over on a bend and it cracked at the seat stays got it replaced sold it spent my redundancy money on it as well ended up with a 653 Ribble had it for years .
Love all the vids you do but please pronounce the brand names properly for example
Campagnolo is pronounced as it's written, not campagnolia as you say ...
Small gripe really just feel it takes away from the quality of your content.
Thanks for watching, OK I will take that as being constructive its a hard thing to do when you have said it that way for over 30 years, their are different pronunciations across Europe and after watching a couple videos I see their is a difference between the UK and the US the way they are pronounced in English.
BikeIt UK I'm English I don't think it's a us/uk difference. Maybe I'm being picky about this but the way it's written is the way it's said. I don't mean to offend you. This is a critique not a criticism, your content is excellent and you have thought me many interesting facts about older bikes and teams. I just feel to add more quality and kick on to the next level the correct pronunciation of all brands featured is important .
hehe ... I do think this is annoyingly trivial...but I did chuckle as I thot you were saying Camp-Magnolia!
JAMES6Y I know I'm being a pedant but the vids are always interesting and informative. I feel this tiny mispronunciation takes away from the overall quality.
Uff que linda, flaca y elegante like a white girl, Don't you? 😅😅
Bien, entonces gracias por ver cuídate
