Re: Incoming Raleigh but what colour?

Just to derail this very interesting thread a little more, why have some Raleigh 531 frames from this period got straight forks while others are raked?

Lovely frame by the way, I have a Moonshine on the way, my first Lightweight Raleigh

The straight forks came on the higher end models

Thanks, that makes sense and sorry for any public displays of ignorance or subsequent thread derailing caused

Not ignorance at all, you never find out anything unless you ask

Re: Incoming Raleigh but what colour?

Indeed, and I am following this thread with great interest as I am doing that interesting theoretical bit that precedes any great build, what to hang from the frame? Judging by THM's form, I should learn plenty

Or what not?

No such thing as a derailment. Merely a scattering of leaves on the line of colour contemplation. All are welcome here.

The forks have gipiemme drop outs. And don't look too bad.

Posted this one as my profile pic and wondering why it's all gone quiet on Elite Dating.

Was going to suggest pearlescent white, as a colleague at workhas a new Citroën Ds3 hybrid thing in pearl white, aand with a mux of chrome and black it really fizzes
