Very nice, not sure about the rear spinergy wheel thoug. There is a readers MTB's section if you ask a mod they might move it for you.
 
I am not sure I have a correct seatpost - 26.6mm one. What is the correct size? 26.8mm? Please let me know.
 
Hi I bought a race lite in 95 and a race in 96 I still have the catalogue. This is the spec of the frames.

Hi yes thats it you can use 25mm or 25.4mm but use a long quality shim like Use. The top ot the seat tube is a weak point on these thin tube steel frames.
So an accurate fit is vital. I run Use suspension posts with shims. To take the sting out of the bumps. Because I'm old
 
Post some pics of it when done.
I need to post pics of my retro bikes
The race lite has the original clamp crown rigid forks. Hens teeth
