    Raleigh "Banana" Team Bike

    I have a genuine Raleigh "Banana Team" bike, ridden by the late Dave Rayner. I bought it off him at the close of the 1989 season.

    60cm, 753 frame, durace 7spd groupset, Mavic rims, tubs still attached but probably well past their best!! Bought the bike on yet another comeback Probably been hung on my garage wall for the last 12yrs. A few bits and pieces missing, no headset, brake pads etc.

    Have been promising to get it sorted for years, but never got round to it
    A recent interest in a SS MTB has prompted me to do something about it, I feel that someone else may want to bring it back to life and get some enjoyment from it.

    Anybody interested? PM me and make me an offer!

    Hi,
    I'm now looking for a new project (I've built all my bikes for years) and quite fancy a lightweight machine for blasting to and from work.
    I'm 6'5" so would fit that 60cm frame, but do you still have it?
