    Raleigh Equipe Drive chain Recommendations?

    I'm running a Suntour arx mid cage with a 6 speed 14-28 and 49-28 upfront. This is a great touring setup giving a 28-95 inch range 👍

    I have been trying to solve this mystery myself as I have an 83 Raleigh SBDU 753 frame that has a seat lug with a web on the underside and have found one the same with the SR logo. I have spoken to the supplier who said they are Italian but can't remember the name. Thread 'Lug...

    Team Raleigh starter kit

    Got a feeling that it could be a rare 753 built by the BEDU🤔

    1979 Rondinella
