Raleigh Record Ace

I’ve found the pedals and they are on 😜 No clips yet, that will be another couple of hours of searching the garage for the Sakae clips buried somewhere. I did find some Alfredo Binda straps whilst looking for the pedals, they have been left out so my old man brain can find them again when needed.
I was going to take my Cadex out tomorrow but now the RRA is ready I think I’ll take the old girl out. I’m meeting my sister who will be riding her 1982 Holdsworth Lady Mistral, quite a nice pairing I reckon.

Got about 30 miles in today. It was tough going, very windy and not ideal for the first ride in 3 months. Met up with my sister who done most of the miles with me. We made a pit stop at Stratford on the way to mums.

Oh, by the way, those brake blocks are awful. I will be ordering some new ones before the next ride. The pedals need some fresh grease, they are a little squeaky. All I did was wipe them over. I had to raise the bars by about half an inch, it was much more comfortable after that. Everything else held up well for a first ride.
