Raleigh Gemini Trail XC

[widowmaker]

One question someone may be able to help with. Trying to source some new wheels.

The bikes in storage at my parents so can't measure the rear spacing. It's a 7 speed rear block. I'm assuming it's 130mm OLD.

Anyone confirm - Thanks in advance

I'm 98.542% sure I spaced-down an XT rear hub to 130mm to fit her indoors' Gemini - it was a number of years ago, but pretty sure.

Picked this up a few weeks ago from a fellow Retrobiker. Thanks gtturbo

It's bright isn't it

Plans are to swap saddles for my favourite Charge Spoon, tighten a few bolts. Slap some oil on the chain and then ride and evaluate.

Maybe slightly wider tyres, V brakes but not sure yet. Black bar tape ?

she is frame n forks only, the pics are from the previous owner, paid 25 quid for them, the first job, is to get out the stuck bearing cups, he`s rounded them off, i may have to drill and chisel them out, bit by bit. but have sorted some wheels this week, a 501 trail, gonna swap from that to this for now. ic anr find out any information or catalogue links, to what spec should be.
