Look around and you will find better buys. New raleigh can still be bought for around R5500.

You must get someone to go with you to look at the bike. Campy bits and a decent frame may not be that serious. The "bottom" of the market is about R3500. Take one of these clever dick slaapstad hubbers with you to see the bike - then you will know for sure. R3.5k buys you sh1+ here
