my new project - 1988 Raleigh Quadra

Thanks, nice quick reply.
I did not expect aero Alloy rims.
Well; I know what I am looking for.
I have a nice Bio Space chainset fitted105 brake and levers fitted
I have deviated from original with Cinelli stem and bars fitted - I used these back in the day.
I used to ride a Clements frame special built out of bits - mid eighties I think?

oops I have bought Yellow Cinelli bar tape, oh well this will do for now!

Pair of wheels on ebay, £65 6 speed, 105 front hub but has exage rear hub, I think this will suffice, I can always lace a 105 rear hub in at a later date?

Took over from the Triathlon. Nice looking bikes and the grey aero rims seemed very exotic at the time. Good luck with the build

I have bought pair of wheels, not grey rims but they look correct and the correct rear axle width.

The original anodised grey Weinmann rims are pretty hard to come by. @Guinessisgoodforyou is right about going HG over the original UG rear feehub. Uniglide cassettes are so scarce they invented 3D printers to remake them.

Wow, that's really cool

It has taken me a while to find this pair so not too fussed they are silver rims.
HG and UG, can you explain what this means?

Sorry. HG=hyperglide type cassette, UG=Uniglide. Uniglide was the first Shimano cassette spec and used on the original Quadra with Shimano 1050 6 speed. Shimano later switched to a different spec - Hyperglide, which is still readily available for 7 speed and up.

Uniglide would.be original but the cassettes are no longer available.
