Raleigh rc6000 Carbon

[Bub Marley]

Just need some advice here guys.

 

I was looking for a decent roadbike, didn't wanna spend too much and this came along:

 

Raleigh rc6000 Carbon

Shimano 105 10 speed all round.

Mavic aksium wheels

Price - R5000

 

I know the design is a bit older but is it a good price? I'm struggling to find any carbon frame for that price.

[Vetseun]

I would pay R5k for that.

What year is it?

 

Can you get a pic.

 

The Raleigh brand is a bullet proof.

 

Just remember to get the seller to measure seat post to steerer tube for the correct size.

I had the RC7000 and was very happy with it. Only reason I changed road bikes was some idiot hit me and wrote the bike off in the process.

As Marvin said, make sure it fits. If it does and it is in a good condition, grab it before somebody else cottons on.

I'm not sure on the year model. The Raleigh frames have the sizes printed on the frames so there shouldn't be any issues.

 

Cool so 2 positives thus far.

I ride a RC8000C, will not change it for anything.

oh and just trust me on asking for seatpost to steerer tube measurement.

I would still be riding mine if I didn't have the accident.

R5000 sounds pretty decent. Budget for a service and possible new chain, cassette, saddle, handle bar tape and tyres given the condition.

That's probably a center to center measurement on the seat tube - one of mine says 46 - but it's 51,centre to top - check carefully....

Okay cool. Thanks for the advice. Will definitely measure it myself before I take it.

You think it was the bike?

 

 

OP, My first new road bike was a raleigh RC3000. Still got it and use it on the indoor trainer and a bit of road training because carbon stuff is expensive to replace as well as I enjoy the bike and just don't want to get rid of it.
