Raleigh Royal

1985

Commuter bike

Classic build

700c

I love a proper old school touring bike and this Raleigh Royal is a prime example of one. It was build for a tall rider so it comes in a huge 64cm size! I love the paintjob, the sweet seriff Raleigh branding, the lovely headbadge, and the contrasted paint on the head tube. It was built up with components from the era and not so different from the factory model. The Stronglight 104 crankset with its drillium chainring really elevate the build IMO. A classic, rides beautifully and looks just perfect to my eyes.
