Good Afternoon

Some pics of my 1991 Raleigh Castorama Maxisports made of Reynolds753 tubing, in relatively good condition despite some paint chips, its equipment is full c record,except the original fork which was replaced due to a crash, a miche front derailleur and the wolber front frim replaced by a rigida dp18. I repainted some of the paint chips with white nail polish.Original saddle was a Turbomatic 2 which was dead and which I changed by an Italia Century manganese in white color

The bike was sold to me by an ex pro racer more than 20 years ago. Upgrades will be the following :
-Mavic CXP 30 with Campy Chorus 8speed hubs

-Campagnolo C-Record SL-01RE CG Shifting Lever / 8 Sp / 77g
-Campagnolo Record EXA Drive Cassette / 8 Sp / 14-26 / CS99-RE0833 / 331g
-Campagnolo C Record Front Derailleur / Braze on / A021 / 1994 / 104g
-Continental Grand Prix 4 seasons 700*23c
-2 slime tubes
-new brakes cables
-new campy record exadrive 8 speed chain
Then ride it
The value for the Castorama Maxisport Raleighs is very high, just check these ebay links

Change out the front mech as that’s not C Record & better get another white turbo saddle installed… good clean & it’ll be a very nice steed.

I have already bought a c record front derailleur, so it will be changed, as for the saddle I will keep the century, I like it more than the Turbo

Very nice! Can I ask how it is stamped under the bottom bracket?
