1984 Raleigh Quasar Reynolds 501 56cm

This 1984 Raleigh Quaser is truly in top condition. The frame is made from high-quality double-butted Reynolds 501 steel meaning a solid but light and capable bicycle. There are almost no imperfections on the frame and the grey/blue two-toned metallic paint work is somehow both eye-catching and understated.

At the time, Raleigh Quaser model had some pretty innovative features such as an elongated (elliptical) down tube, concealed brake cables and track-like geometry drop-down bars. These little features all spoke to the dominant trend of the time which saw many innovations all aimed at increasing the aerodynamics of bicycles.
