A Bicycle Build Designed by God
Well not actually god, but Gerald O Donovan one of the main men behind Raleigh's SBDU division which later became the lightweight build section.
The SBDU built bikes for the TI-Raleigh team as well as many British cycling stars, plus some innovative one-off specials. It was based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire and run by Gerald O'Donovan, former owner of Carlton Cycles who knew more about steel frame design than almost anyone else at the time.
This hand built lightweight Raleigh frame Type 8804 in Reynolds 531 tubing was sold as a frame only. The period correct groupset is Shimano 105 which was taken directly from the failed Raleigh Dyna-tech build.
Watch as this bicycle is completely rebuilt from start to finish.
