Dumfries and Galloway. Yeah it's the tubus racks (steel one's) cost more than the bike

I've got the Tara and Logo on my Randonneur. Much stiffer than the original Blackburn rack and low rider. Cost yes expensive but good.

The front rack came from Spain from what I recall.

Blimey, Spa cycles do them now. Hopefully you didn't get stung for import tax

Recently picked up this Dave Lloyd Raleigh Fast Randonneur in Reynolds 753 ... it's very red and shiny. Built with long Campagnolo dropouts with mudguard eyes and the brake blocks at the bottom of the slot's to allow for mudguards and/or fatter tyres. Pictures showing with 23-28-32mm tyres but it will take 35mm pulling the wheel back so a very adaptable bike

Very nice, looks fast

Not tried riding it yet, think it's too big for me which is a shame, I'd like to take it over the South Downs Way, reckon it'll absolutely fly, much lighter than my old Holdsworth Mistral

You can cycle to the "Centre of the Earth" on a Raleigh 753

You'd need a lot of powder to cover it... would the sun be hot enough
