Re: Raleigh Frame-Chrome Forks "Reynolds 653" 1987 Excellent Wow! Wish I could buy this!

Partial 105 Golden Arrow group - Crankset, 170mm, 52-42, shows a fair amount of use, anodizing has rubbed off in places, some dings etc. Teeth look fairly worn but are perfectly useable. Will include spindle bolts. Front mech, was bought as NOS and never used, hence it is in virtually perfect...

After a shimano dura ace 7700 series rear derailleur - 9 speed short cage I would guess Cheers

Well once I had it all at even tension, I gave it a go a truing it. I got about halfway, but by that time the spoke tensions were so uneven I didn't see much point continuing. Even spoke tension is more important than the wheel being perfectly true, but in this case it would have been unusable.

Yep. Turns out the have really bad quality control.

welllllllll, I had the front wheel laced up, as far as I could tell, with adequate tension. I had the spoke tensions equalised almost perfectly, yet the thing was flapping around all over the place. It was a velocity deep v. I think I've learnt my lesson. The dt swiss rr 465 looks like a...

What would be the best way to check a rim for trueness? Talking about just the rim here, no spokes, nipples, hubs, nada I would assume putting it down on a flat surface and simply seeing if there are any raised bits or whatever would be a fairly good indication? Furthermore, once said...

The front brake has always been the more effective of the two

Anyone know why right hand became the norm?

I find myself signalling for a right turn way more often than a left, and at the same time, would like to be able to use my front brake. On my current project, I'll be using downtube shifters, and I can imagine it would be good to use my front brake while shifting through the rear cassette...

it's the most recent model, similar but not exactly that one

Had bought all of this stuff with the intention of using it on a particular frame, but now have given up on it for a better (and cheaper) frame, so all of this stuff is no longer needed. Pickup from Brighton, or can post at your cost. Tektro brakes pair, standard reach, no pads, fairly tatty...

Looking for a lugged steel frame, size 58-60cm + forks Derailleur hanger would be good, and downtube shifter braze ons would be a bonus but not essential Minimal rust would also be great could go up to £200, but would be looking ideally for something around £100-150 Cheers! Alex

Was considering some ultra gatorskins for my build, but they seem to have a bad rep for not being as puncture resistant as they make out. On top of that, I have ultra sports on my current bike, and would like more cornering grip. As far as I can tell the cheapo ultra sports and the gatorskins...

Bars and forks have gone
