Either way, I'd take the chance on it. Appreciate and agree that Ant should have first call. PM me if he declines as I'll take a punt. I fitted a perfect six on the rear wheel I built but the clearance looks too tight, 123mm hub OLD as measured. I really like Suntour kit, it's always been sound...

One query, are the threads OK for a Shimano Dura-Ace hub?

And....

Garbh Allt Shiel Bridge [1925], River Dee. Claud Butler Velox S. I said I'd get a ride today no matter what. This beautiful bridge was a nice option for a Wednesday road-ride when traffic is low and a good candidate for a designated photo-shoot for this topic. A couple of niggles on the...

Dibs on it, I'll give it a try on the frame, pm'd [I think!!] - Cheers Pigman

Hi Pigman, if you could message me a payment method I'll take the Maillard. Paypal would be best? Cheers - Bob Upton

We are after much the same, my Wester Ross is a tourer. Best of luck getting one, they seem quite rare.

There's one on ebay but the guy wants stupid money though it is NOS. I'm looking for one too, for the Wester Ross. I had the ultra 6 on my Record Ace back in '82 and it had the smoothest changes I've ever had.... really nice freewheel - Best of luck!

Auld Brig'O'Dee, East of Braemar, Marin Bolinas Ridge '96 No longer used for traffic but connects up the trails around Braemar/Balmoral, another two for one as the now road bridge runs just upstream. The River Dee from the Balmoral side.... There were glimpses of blue sky, but mizzle...

That Raleigh Rapide is another stunner GIGFY.... I do feel that the '75-'85 era bikes are the pick of the litter..... envy. !!! :p

The White Bridge, West of Braemar. Team Marin '96. A strange illumination was present.... could it have been the Sun? Anyway, the team is just out of the garage after it's summer TLC session, so artistic pose above the river Dee was required...... And then, at the Linn O'Dee The entirety...

Looks like it is a UK Lotus.... https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/lotus-sport-1994.1315/

Loving those Suntour shifters.... another beaut Bob.

Very cheap Japanese Fuji Espree in need of full attention...

Difficult choice as too many lovely tourer's.... went with my heart but all should be proud of their entries. Hope this category runs again next year as I could have an entry by then!

Corriemulzie Bridge, near Braemar, above the Corriemulzie Gorge/Falls. Carlton Corsair, 1981, test ride after service: Southside view above: Looking North view above, Small surprise beyond.... Corriemulzie Gorge falls about 100' from directly under the bridge, more here...

W prefix means it's Worksop then and that means it's bones/build and most likely geometry is Carlton. Super nice Bike, luv'it.

Hi Bob, very nice, wondering if it's a Worksop bike and hence possibly a Carlton rebadge as I know Raliegh took over Carlton around then. Looking at the bike geometry and what you said about it's feel it looks a bit Carlton to me, which would mean one of the higher end. Just a very nice bike...

Nice bike Bob, you know about my fondness for the Record Ace. Nice to hear that you find it fast too! Did you go 10 or 12 speed? 👍
