Yup, not entirely happy with the look, certainly that is an optionNicely done! I'd suggest getting some riser bars to do that stem shaft a favor though
1993 Ridgeback 503GS, bit of a slow burner as had it over 15 months!
Tange double butted frame, built up with a mixture of mid nineties parts, mainly XT and LX, with 700 x 40c tyres.
Sticking with flat bars, but may still change the stem and bars, we shall see.
As originally bought.

now I'm a tad confused over these, are they on a 700c rim? and is it the royal / randonneur 531 frame or is a 531 arb frame like a thunder road with custom road forks for the canti`s? I missed out on one if these last year. I got a nice 501 mk1 mirage and mk2 Avanti, but fancied something for touring and south Wales roads are as mean as starmers dish water! and a normal road bike ? X 2 for an old fatty like me, isn't low geared enough. these would be a SUPERBE Raleigh.. pun intended lolIncoming retro loudness, late 80's View attachment 817880Raleigh Gemini Trail xc
