ycowley Posted May 12, 2023 Share I asked the seller condition and he says great condition, no accidents. Funny but he cannot tell me the age of the bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverNotRolling Posted May 12, 2023 Share Age, as in when the bike was manufactured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted May 12, 2023 Share I would guess this bike wasn’t even 10k well over 10 years ago when it was new. That Ultegra group set was released 18 years ago in 2005 dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted May 12, 2023 Share Agreed . Those Raleigh's were a thing in about 2005/2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted May 12, 2023 Share I’d say overpriced, I’ve seen some carbon bikes with better 10speed Groupos selling for around 8/9k over the last couple of months. I’d wait it out for something better, unless you’re desperate Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Posted May 12, 2023 Share That's a 2008 Raleigh Team. There was a problem with the 2007 carbon models in that they were cracking at the chain stays. This frame, in this colour, was brought out specifically as a recall replacement for the 2007 models. It is made by Dedacciai, who manufactures high end frames. Personally, considering what you pay for bikes nowadays, I think the price is reasonable. You are getting a full carbon frame, which in its day was high end and an Ultegra groupset.

Ah, didn’t pick that up, wasn’t clear in the pic. Yes, mine was aluminium (though ironically was also advertised as carbon due to the carbon fork).

For perspective, early last year I sold my old Felt F3 2009 model for R7k - full carbon with Ultegra 10sp components, newer aluminium wheels plus cranks had been upgraded to 11sp 105 (2018). Full drive chain had also been replaced in 2018 So just be patient, pop an alert on road bikes in the classified ads and something much better will come your way. Plus if you keep saving while you wait your budget will increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to post about that - it was far better specced though, and a newer model 😉. OP, it is a good bike, if in good nick, but not vintage yet, so offer R3k and walk away if not accepted.
