    Modernising a 1983? Carlton Raleigh Record Ace- With Photos

    Another photo outside this time. I weight the bike and it was 19.2 lbs. I am thinking maybe leave old school and use a new bike for the club rides. I could put bar end shifters on it which were 70-80s and build it up slowly with campy stuff. Would love to do a vintage ride on it.
