2000 Raleigh RSP 550 Titanium

[Imlach]

Looking good. Excited to see it finished. Will you be doing some colour matching with some parts to match the red of the fork?

Yes, the plan is to get decals done in the original colours before someone stripped the paint off it. So yellow red and blue based. I’d love to get it painted back how it should but it’s too much of a job, so just something in the vein of the colour scheme will suffice I think.

Just a quick update.

Got some IRC Mythos for the Mavic wheels, and got those built up ready.

Seem as they were sat there and the SID's arrived, I thought I'd give it a dry mock up to see if i was happy with my purchases!

No real update for a while, but I have had a few remaining parts arrive this week, so expect some build photos soon!

Well, I spent Thursday evening taking all the Orange decals off the Raleigh frame.

It now looks miles better.

I was holding out for an RSP head badge but none seemed to be out there, so I "Borrowed" one from my RSP 250 frame, as my plan for that wont need it anyway.

Job sorted

I've steadily been collecting some M750 parts for it too, as I'm going to be running a full group set, eventually.

Not a massive update, but some sort of slight progress at least!

The late RSP badge from 99 is a thing of beauty: as are the bikes.

I can’t argue with that!
