WTB: 2017 Raleigh Willard 2 or 2018 Raleigh Willard 3, size 60cm

I know this is a long shot but, if anyone has either of these models please let me know. Thanks!

Largest size they have is a 58. I need 60+. Thanks though

Not good at connecting links here or spent an hr. or so searching for you. Gray Goat Bicycle Company in Indianapolis has a 2018 Willard 3 in size 60(looks like $1049). Always will try and help another rider get a Raleigh 😃

Thanks for taking the time! I reached out to them and of course...they are out of stock. I contacted Raleigh direct and they are also out of stock and don't plan on restocking. They also said they were dropping one model of the Willard altogether. That's why I reached out to the used market. Let me know if anyone is looking to offload. Thanks!

What really surprised me was every place I checked had every size but the 60cm. I didn't know that there was that many taller drinks of water out there and I am 6 ft. 😃 Maybe they didn't produce as many of that size.

Ahh yes, Zman, I feel Monster's pain.  I don't blame the shops for not stocking the 60cm and above sizes as there aren't that many of us compared to the cycling population.  Demo-ing models is almost impossible.  At 6'4", I took a chance and bought my 63cm Caad10 sight unseen.  Hey, I liked the color!  At least now I have the Caad10's geometry to make some sort of comparison to frames that can accommodate larger tires.  Usually, it's easy.  Not big enough like those carbon frames in the Chinese threads.

And the cycling-specific clothing options are even more limited.

Did you ever try Voler? If you get on their email list you can get some discounts.

Hey @Monsterinyourhead

Not sure if you are still looking but these will be available very soon and are designed/spec'd by the guys that did the Willard. As a former Willard owner I can tell you the Noble rides even better! Check it out.
