1986 Raleigh

[ra44510]

Almost finished. Still need to source chain and cables.

Not sure about the bar tape. Colour looked different on the ad, but I fitted it to see. Would rather it matched the saddle and hoods better but I have not been able to find any.

Bar angle needs a little work too, but I need some dry weather for test rides first.

Frame was resprayed by Argos. Virtually everything replaced with new old stock Campagnolo Super Record or C Record. Wheels are Mavic MA40 with Campag hubs.

Re: Re:

It's a sort of cherry red metallic. The original was bright post box red, as you see in all the publicity pictures fron the old Raleigh Team. I was never a fan of that. My first road bike in the sixties was a cherry red Raleigh, so I went with that.

Cables.

Jagwire cables. Of course. Silly me, thanks.

Modern chain as well, or is there something suitable from the 80's?

No, silly me, I was thinking in shorthand.

I like KMC chains, their X8 series http://www.kmcchain.eu/chain-KMC_X8%E2% ... ,6,5_speed
