RALEIGH SBDU 753 DYNAFLITE.... 'Race Special No7'

[vcballbat]

Now I've got to decide what brake levers to go for, cables out the top or hidden aero style..
Check out Laurent Fignon's brakes..

Decision made on the brake levers.. with aero tubes it's got to be aero levers with hidden cables. The correct Campagnolo like rocking horse poo, Modolo Kronos look cool on a TT machine riding on the drops but I need something to can grab hold of while climbing...Wow... found these NOS super rare and super light... perfect...

The only other aero bike I've seen built in reprofiled Reynolds Aero 753 for Bernard Hinault by Alain Descroix...

I was just playing spot the differences to the bike - between the "riding" picture and the static picture - how many do you get?

I've obviously got too much time on my hands this morning! I've got 4.

Yeah the one he's riding is the stock 753 road bike... still it's better than watching Saturday Kitchen..

Ah, that's one big difference then

Dynaflite under construction at the Specialist Bicycle Development Unit at Ilkeston, Gerald O'Donovan cast's his expert eye over work in progress.....Mmmm wonder if it's my frame..

Now with the means to stop the Dynaflite sorted it's time to turn my attention to propulsion.. what's gonna get the thing rolling..... It's got to be the achingly gorgeous 'Mistral by Ofmega' (for f**ks sake it's a chainset not a bottle of aftershave) looking like a Ninja Star with teeth..

That’s in a very nice condition

NOS innit, shame not to have the whole NOS set up then?
