A bike celebrating more than a century of producing performance bikes for athletes at the highest level; the TI Raleigh classic is a replica of the bike used by Raleigh’s world dominating TI – Raleigh Team in the early 1980s. The frame and fork are 100% Raleigh designed, manufactured using Reynolds 725 tubing (a popular tube set suitable for a wide range of riders) and equipped with components to recall that era as best they possibly can and in two sizes, 51 & 54 cm.

Only 125 of the bikes are being produced and around 50 per cent of those are already sold and the rest available for purchase. When VeloUK visited Raleigh on Friday, news came in that the bike is now in stock and will be shipped to customers that have pre-ordered. The bike has Campagnolo components as it did in its heyday.
