Cees Priem 1979 TI-Raleigh Road Frame CP.1.79

Yesterday I received a new Raleigh 753 frame all the way from Poland. It was a frame that popped up on eBay last week and I snapped it up at a very good price. It is stamped with the frame number CP.1.79



This is a frame built for TI-Raleigh rider Cees Priem




As you can see, it has been repainted and then heavily used following that repaint. But there is still a reminder inside the head tube of the heritage of this frame.



It has all the features you would expect of a team frame of that period - not everything you would expect to see on an SB numbered frame though. I'll write a short blog post soon about the subtle differences between team frames and SB frames.



Here's a little video explaining a bit about this frame...

I think this one has to go back to TI-Raleigh colours. I've got other TI team frames that were updated and painted in the later colours by the SBDU and because of that I'm leaving them in the later paint (I don't want to take off actual SBDU paint even though it is a later scheme). But this one isn't SBDU paint so I'm happy to alter it.

However parts are different, I'm not a huge fan of Super Record. I like to ride bikes with parts that I like to ride, so this at the moment could end up with anything on it, I'm just not decided at the moment what that will be. I need to paint if first which gives me time to ponder.
