Mekk,
This isn't my actual bike but I do have a Raleigh Pursuit from the 80's in storage. Can't think what the condition is like, its been an age since i've looked.
Are road racers fashionable at the moment? Is it a good time to be selling? ;)

^ Absoluteley - classic bikes in good condition with modern parts are what the bike community is after. When you have your carbon roadbike and your fully mountainbike this is what they want next - a classic bike with modern components for casual cyclin. The other half is the fixie community looking for decent frames to build up. So yes, now is a good time for selling. Wait for a warm weekend and put it on CL on monday hehe
I can't guess what this might be worth without seeing the components but it looks very casual to me. Don't go after the frame because they mostly are all the same (see my bike, almost exactly same build).
I paid 100€ for mine above and I think I've made a really good deal. Check the bay for pricings ;)

- I'm considering spraycan paint for my next project after seeing this :) looks good!mekk
- ya this has a nice consistent micro ruf texture. the trick is get it down to metal i thinkprophetone
- and i tried scratching it inside the tube as a test, it seems super durable, hey good enuff for me!prophetone
- the other trick i've learned the hard way is patience. sprayed it like a week ago, fully cured. no rush!prophetone
- I did mine with an airbrush, scraped it, then three layers of base paint, then colour and then clear vanish :)mekk
- wow, yeah well you're doing it the right way :) this bmx is going to be tossed around, chipoed, scratched anywayprophetone
- and... I'm happy with a nice matte ruf surface texture, kinda makes sense here, cheap n cheerfulprophetone
- yep but I like the color choice with that montana black cans, I would need ages to mix them.. I was really lucky with my outcome :Dmekk
- color composition, this could have gone very wrongmekk
- did this with a kuwahara awhile back with some old auto metal flake spray paint i founddoesnotexist

Not mine specifically, but I have a 2013 Specialized Langster like this:
Thought about getting the whole thing powder coated matte black, but can't powder coat the fork since it's carbon fiber. Would like it all to match. But then saw a photo of a fully chrome frame with a black fork and wonder how that would look?
Want to get new wheels for it too.
- you could get a new fork in matte black, see my roadbike some posts above :)mekk
