Where those wheels once on Gios Roberts Stratos...?

Nah, built these myself ..... with a little tuition

Good for you, it was the black spokes that threw me.

Re:

I toyed with stainless steel spokes but fancied something darker.

Re:

LOVE THIS.

The Mavic groupset sets this off really nicely. Neon Pink on black to me is very much a colourway of the early Nineties.

Kudos for building your own wheels too..... Ive done the same for my Mavic build yet to be revealed!

Cheers

Man I really enjoyed this
And the bike looks superb with the Mavic group set!
I think the pink is the icing on the cake!

Re:

thanks chaps, I love the pink, and it is very bright too, harks me back to when my cousin and I would buy dayglow cables, grips, toeclips and derailleur protectors ...... really pimped up the raleighs on a budget

looking forward to the Mavic build "B'o'B"

Re:

A really nice build. The Mavic groupset is rarely seen, but always a treat to see.

Re:

That's beautiful! Keep an eye on the Mavic crank to spider webs though....had a set on my Prestige back in the day and they developed hairline cracks. Took a round file to them (ouch!) until the cracks had gone and they never returned. Just something to keep an eye on.
