Gee, that whitewall suits the white panels on the frame.

78 raleigh team ti pro with 9s record, 7s chorus brakes and crankset.
cables still need trimming, and i know, big dog, crank angle, valves etc. rules schmules. it's a pic of a bike leaning on a shrub. get over it.
big thanks to dayne the main vein for this build, as he sold me the frame and put me onto the groupset.

Original wheels were heavy and slow, and I'm not a fan of coaster brakes. On there now is the $50 wheelset that Reid was flogging recently (no expense spared!).
Saddle is the original 1974 Brooks, it's deteriorating pretty rapidly though.
This bike is my weekender.

I recently stumbled across this old boys bike... I believe it may be a Raleigh "Flying Girl". It looks as though an owner at some stage has taken offense to having "girl" written on a boys bike and has tried to remove the offending word. The only information I have found with anything that looks similar is at:
http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/1910-2/191 ... ying-girl/
The bike is in pretty poor condition
If anybody can confirm the identity or provide further information that would be fantasttic as I have had litle luck at this stage.
Cheers!

Hello RAS,
New to this forum. Thought that I'd post my newly acquired Raleigh Grand Prix. Sheldon's site info dates it at November 1973, built in the Nottingham factory. All parts are original as far as I can tell, with the excepetion of the Tanaka fenders. All in nice working order too (even the ever-unpopular simplex dertailleurs). A pretty example of a British bike-boomer I reckon.
I am enjoying the 63cmST-57cmTT geo, although, for a bike this large, I was surprise by the narrow (40cm) bars and small pedals.
Came as is, only needed a bit of a wash and lube and replaced the deteriorated cotton tape with some used leather tape off another bike.
Oh and gave the saddle a bit of a soak in Neatsfoot oil.

If I may, I'd like to ask for your opinion on an idea that I have.
I recently acquired an old Raleigh Pioneer Classic frame from a fellow forum member here, and am currently slowing stripping back the paintwork in order to remove the rust present on the frame.
I will post pictures of the frame once I can, but it's the bike seen here, just frame only.
http://recyclebikes.co.uk/refurbished-b ... ybrid-bike
Now to my question...
I have been toying with the idea of converting this hybrid frame into a drop bar CX/commuting bicycle, as I have a few parts lying around unused which could potentially work.
Would this be an incredibly silly idea? Should I just keep this bike as a hybrid? Should I jump off a bridge for suggesting something so sacrilegious?
Kind regards,
Wei

I picked this up on the weekend:
A TI Raleigh originally bought from a bike store in The Netherlands I believe. Has "Joop Zoetemelk" on top tube.
I have to admit I had to Google his name to learn who he was:
A proper hardman from 70's - 80's and one time Tour de France champion.
There's some interesting old components that I haven't heard of before also: Suntour Volante rear mech, Pelissier Brevette front hub and rear rim is "Van Schothorst".
Hope someone finds this of interest.

Not sure where to start but knowing the wheels are buckled this is probably one of the first things i'd want to get fixed so then i can take her for a spin but worried about sourcing 22" wheels with a push back brake back wheel (sorry, not sure how else to describe them).
She is a bit rusty and will need a bit of rechroming and a respray but i love it already and will slowly get her to her former glory(provided I haven't bitten off more than i can chew)!!

Looks to be a fairly low-end frame from what I can gather; no serial numbers, 20-30 straight gauge tubing and nothing on the dropouts.
Seems to be a funny mix up of parts- the rear hub is Ofmega. Left crank is different from the driveside.
Don't know what I'm gonna do with it. Maybe clean it up, take it for a spin then hide it in the shed...
