How would you rate a Raleigh RC2000?

Hi all. So, I eventually decided on a Silverback Strela 2. I did have my heart set on the Raleigh, but the Silverback just made more sense - newer bike going for the same price as the green and yellow Raleigh.

I have a red RC 2000 waiting to be advertised to be sold. (It is a fast bike, taking me to a 2:45 94.7 :thumbup: )

Tyres: Newish Gatorskins  (<150km)

Cassette:  Newish Tiagra 10x cassette (11-25?). (km?)

Crankset: Ultegra 2x10 (52/39)

Shifters: Ultegra (3x10)

Handlebar: 44 centre to centre shallow drop alu PRO handlebar, wrapped in Fizik bartape

Brake calipers: Ultegra 

Wheelset: Not sure whether to sell it with the bladed spoke old Fulcrum Racing 3's or a set of reasonably new (<200km) Axis 2.0's

Saddle: Fizik Antares VS

 

What price could I expect?

First, show me a Strava file of your 2:45 94,7, then we can talk   :ph34r:

No problem with the bike itself.  I am just not a big fan of the older Sora Groupset.

 

For the earlier statement about Ralleigh bike being bulletproof ... I don't know.  Had RC3000 and after about 45 000km the frame cracked by the seatpost.  Was replaced with a RC7000 which after about 15 000 km the frame snapped at the BB.  I then got a carbon frame with no warranty out of the deal and it still serves me very well.

... and you are actually complaining ?  Cars don't last that !

You don't need Strava to prove the bike's speed. The bike is red, that is more than enough evidence that it is fast.

Obviously the aftermarket groupset components should push the price up substantially. How old are the Ultegra components? What derailleurs does it have?
