Re: Facts please. Thanks for the information well, If you think you know better than everyone else,... finally I'm taking back my "thanks" :evil: :evil: Of course I did !! :roll:

Thanks to wikipedia, I've just learned more about my Raleigh : The serial number is WB 200 0577 It must be the 577rd frame built at Worksop (Nottinghamshire) in February 1982 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh_Bicycle_Company#Serial_numbers A recent picture, just for the eyes...

Just wanted to give a quick update of my Raleigh : the TA Pro Vis 5 is mounted ! It's finally resembling something that looks like a nice randonneuse With this bike, I'm not too worried about speed, that's why I finaly choosed 42/32 & 13/24 (I don't like chain crossings). The good news ...

So nice !!! :shock: :shock:

I found a nice pair of pedals : a set of Lyotard Berthet (French Thread 14 x 1,25 mm : perfect for the TA cranks) :D

The fork was simply polished with very fine steel wool

Hi, a new crank is coming for my Raleigh : a nice Specialités TA 50.4 BCD / 175 mm :D Very light : 377 g And versatile, it fits for chainrings from 26t to 54t (with Paris-Brest-Paris in mind, 46 / 36 will be perfect for me instead of my 52 / 42) The pictures :

Nice work! :wink:

I don't remove the old glue unless the layer becomes too thick... Before i apply the new one, the rim was like that : On the road I take under my saddle a tubular that has been mounted and used previously. With the glued surfaces stuck to one another. With the residue on the rim and on...

I changed my tubulars today (for a nice pair of Veloflex Criterium), so I took the opportunity of weighing the wheels : Front wheel : 725g Rear wheel : 863g ie 1588 g for the set. Not so bad, isn't it?:D Some pics of the Veloflex : With a thin layer of mastic : And on the...

Re: Cavallo Marino (Columbus SLX New / Genius) - lot of pics It's an old common practice of some wheelbuilders (at least in France) : In theory, tied spokes give : - a better wheel response thanks to the direct rider power transmission : the spokes aren’t allowed to move one on each...
