Raleigh · Reynolds 531 · in Raleigh catalogs from at least 1969 to 1978 (Mark II, IV and V)
The Professional was the top of Raleigh's production range, and it wasn't built in Nottingham. From 1960 Raleigh's hand-built Reynolds 531 frames came from the Carlton works in Worksop. The Professional had an Italian look, with simple lugs, a sloping fork crown and, on early ones, a fastback seat cluster. The 1970 Mark II was a Limited Edition of 500 bikes. The 1974 Mark IV had spearpoint lugs and Campagnolo Record down to the brakes, and the 1978 Mark V had Haden lugs and Campagnolo sidepulls. Every version is butted 531 throughout. It was one of the first bikes sold with Campagnolo brakes and a six-speed freewheel. Plenty were stripped, so look for one that still has its Campagnolo.
Frame check
Original parts to look for
Hard to find if missing
Check the listing photos against these lists, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. Swapped or missing original parts should come off the price if originality matters to you. For replacements, see our vintage components guide.
Many have lost their original Campagnolo parts, so check what's really there. Sheldon Brown's frame had a cracked bottom bracket shell, so look closely at that joint. Old tubulars and seized seatposts and stems are the routine jobs.
New to old steel? Spotting frame damage in listing photos covers lugs, dropouts and rust, and seller red flags covers wrong sizes, swapped parts and repaints sold as original.
Buying guide
Many Professionals lost their Campagnolo parts over the years, so check what's really fitted. Plenty are listed, and good sellers mostly ask $1,075 to $1,525 delivered. The 1969 survivor at about $1,100 is our pick, or the NOS 1978 frameset if you want to build one. Sheldon Brown's own frame cracked under the bottom bracket shell, so get a close photo there.

A 1971 frame and fork in 531 at $360 delivered, far under any complete bike. It's 65 cm, so it only suits a tall rider. Look for the 531 decals on the seat tube and fork blades.

Still on Campagnolo, from a seller with a clean record, for less than any other complete one here. The title says Mark I, but the catalogs we found list Mark II, IV and V, so ask for the serial.
