Still looking!

Re: 1988 Cannondale 24"x24" Bike is looking great so far! That frame cleaned up nicely. I have a soft spot for old Cannondales- I live about 2 miles from that station!

Re: Raleigh Special Products Randonneur frameset. Reynolds 7 Very interested. PM incoming.

Looking for a Raleigh RSP cyclocross bike, Reynolds 853. I'm looking for either a complete bike or a frame/fork in a large size (57-59cm). I am located on the east coast USA. If international shipping doesn't work, I know someone in Oxford who may be able to facilitate. Thanks!

To clarify, looking for something along the lines of this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25403378@N ... otostream/ or http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43639 Complete bike or just a frame/fork

I'm looking for a Raleigh 853 cyclocross bike, in a large size (I'm 6'0"). I'm interested in a complete bike or just a frame/fork. They weren't imported to the USA as far as I know, so the search has been difficult! I am located on the east coast of the USA. Any links/leads appreciated as well...

PM incoming..

Nope, the "Rocky" is clearly visible on both sides of the top tube. I believe it was sold as a Canada-only model, for some reason. Maybe a 1985 Raleigh Canada brochure could clear things up a bit.

Didn't think I'd see another one of these! Here's my thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... highlight= I've since updated it with different tires and different brakes (a pain, because those 80s Raleigh frames have the wrong type brake studs). Definitely a fun bike, I believe it was...

WOW, that is absolutely beautiful. LOVE the build! Has it seen any time trials yet? 8)

Cool, thanks for clearing up the model jango! I guess the bike was built up in '97. The tubing sticker says "DBR Designed 7005 Aluminum Double-Butted Oversize Tubing." How should I go about polishing the frame?

Just picked this up yesterday. Haven't even cleaned it at all. I know nothing about DBR, just figured it was a good deal for $85 (about 50GBP I guess?) I have no clue what model or year it is- any help? Shimano XT cranks, V-brakes (but a canti hanger on the frame), front derailleur. XTR levers...

Definitely interested in the bike.

Tried that, didn't work. I think the springs are identical..

I think it just had some crummy Chang Star brakes..

Love the color. Looking forward to the "after" pics!

Here it is:

They're definitely permanently attached and put that way on purpose. What other kinds of brakes will work? Does anyone want to trade a pair of Dia-compe 986's for some Deore LX's? :P

I just bought some Deore LX canti's to fit on an old Raleigh MTB (ATB?) frame. But, when I went to put on the rears I saw that the holes that accept the brake spring are on the outside of the brake stud, rather than the inside. Is this common? Do any brakes work with this?

I have a bike with a bolt on derailleur hanger (like this: ). It's a little worn, and after I tightened the wheel down properly it slipped in the dropouts. What's the best bolt-on derailleur hanger? Is there one that will withstand mountain biking? Thanks.
