My bikes.

A new addition, 57cm 1999 Raleigh R200. All 9 speed Tiagra apart from the 105 brake calipers. Clearance for 23's with mudguards, just.

I'm pleased it rides nicely. Not high end, just a nice quality bike. Camera doesn't capture just how vibrant the blue is, its darker and metallic.

Very tidy and purposeful, altho I'd need fatter tyres! Nice.

Thanks Dave. It's reasonably smooth, but not 32s smooth.

Nice Bike Bob, just a run-around or a future parts-donor? Not keen on the bottle cages, they don't compliment the bike in my view but I am a pedant....

It's to use mate. The bottle cages fit my Systema bottles well. I would prefer plain black myself.

Function over aesthetics is fine then in that case. Found some showa racks [I think] but they are attached to the rest of a bike....

I have long considered "good ol' 41-30" as good if not better than the more exalted frame materials in terms of that subjective and elusive characteristic of "comfortable"!

I agree, I've had some great bikes that are 4130. Not light but it does go well.

Interesting bike. It looks a lot like my 200 Proline. I was never able to find out much about this model.

Sorry about the NDS pic ...
