Raleigh Tourer
Reynolds 531 frame, traditional touring bike
Commissioned by a customer whose previous bike had been stolen, he now wanted the best touring bike he could get for the insurance money available, but specifically didn't want it to look too new and shiny in case it got stolen! A used Reynolds 531 touring frame in the correct size was sourced, and the rest of the bike was built using mostly new components.
