In the past I've used an online calculator for bike fit at http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CC ... ATOR_INTRO ....and found it to be pretty much spot on. If you want a second opinion on your sizing spend an some time doing your body measurements and see what happens

Tricky....there's one on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-RALEIGH- ... 4607f6cbf7 Seller also says its a 1991 model. Sound about right - although catalogue scans for early 1990's are thin on the ground for some reason......

What on earth is this bike? Found near the south coast of the UK, its got an odd combination of bits, but also some aspects of quality. I originally posted the bare bones of some these details in the C&V forum, but what follows here follows further investigation including looking inside the head...

I'm thinking about what to do with my (still fairly nice) 1983 Rapide 12, but wondering exactly how much of the frameset is 531. Obviously the main tubes are, and the forks are not - which prompts me to think whether it might be worthwhile changing the forks for 531 forks from a 'higher...
