I finally settled on the bottle cage I wanted, but finding one took a bit of time. I’ll likely get another if one crops up in the future. It’s an Elite (pre logo) cage, which has come up really clean after a quick wash. With the cage fitted, and the weather sunny, I decided it was time for a...

Not much of an update, but worthy of sharing some recent good fortune. I bought a box of assorted bar end caps from eBay this week, which were actually quite local to me. I contacted the seller for more detail on the assortment, but no reply. Anyway, the listing ended and I was quite happy to...

Thanks for the reply, but I’m fairly rigid on the requirement for it to be an exact match.

I could have kept the Stronglight headset as it was a perfect fit, and actually it’s the later variant which uses the replaceable cartridge bearings. It’s light, and would polish up well enough, but the C Record headset has such a distinctive design, that I think it would be too noticeable that...

Bump

Yeah, I saw that, but it’s very non-committal as it just states 90’s. I didn’t realise they came with an alloy expander bolt too, hence their lower weight.

Thanks. I had mid 90’s in my head, but can’t find any evidence anywhere.

Has anyone got a definitive date when 3TTT Status stems were released to market? Pic for reference

As per the title - what’s out there? I’ll take a wheel or a rim.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Wow! 😍

It seems a prudent time to update this build thread as it’s long lost brother comes to live with us. There’s a separate build for the new addition, but this still gets the love it deserves. The new frame is only 10 apart from the old one! The bike as it looks today… After building...

My other Cronos did have a comprehensive build thread, but it was from a time when we used Photobucket accounts, and I found that my pictures were all deleted at some point. I do have some photos here and there on various devices that I’ll try and upload, and failing that I’ll piece the story...

Incredible! I haven’t bought the Superbe Pro Groupset because I couldn’t get the hoods. Are these for the 1990 group?

Fantastic. How are these made? I’m interested in knowing. Also, have you considered the ever-rare Suntour Superbe Pro hoods that are almost always perished or missing?

I like that 😂

I posted a few pics up on the Raleigh Restoration FB page, and one of Raleigh’s original SBDU team who worked on these has come back with this information… “Okay, so the frame in the picture is a Cronos. Built in SBDU to specific customer order, hence the SB numbers. It is one from the early...

Literally, the groupset from this year. It’s here and waiting, although it needs some TLC before fitting 😁

It won’t be Dura Ace as it would be too similar to the other, plus that was never what I wanted or had back in 1990. I was strictly Campagnolo, so it’ll be C Record, with a small degree of improvement.
