Raleigh Randonneur 708 1997

Heck, have my 1989 Touriste with its humble 531 butted tubes - unfortunately my own Royal 708 was too small

Its a nice enough ride. Am reluctant to upgrade it from stock as I'm holding out for another Royal or Touristique

Thanks for pointing me here from my 708 Royal thread. This has been very informative and I will be happy if my Royal ends up 50% as good as your build. It has confirmed that the XT groupset s the way to go.
