+1, except for that stem, can't stand the look of those myself.frailer5 wrote:Beauty in the eye of the beholder... looks beautiful enough to me. Gotta love quality bikes of that era. Maybe it's just my age.
Question- is this the right place to post a BSA Tour of Britain, given it has a Raleigh branded Huret rear derailleur?

Maybe this one will make the trip up next week, maybe the van werkhoven will get another run.

the other issue was that the adjustable bottom bracket cup doesn't sit on the face properly. the BB face needed to be flat and i forgot the common term for it.
I had originally wanted to throw on the mirage groupset on there with 8-9 speed group but opted to go with nuovo record and found out that the cable guide on the back stays should've been on the top instead of he bottom so the frame was built for a more recent groupset. Plus the brake holes were recessed so it would've thought it must've been difficult to find a recessed NR brakeset.
Still it is what it is and the final result was the above, I'd like like to thank the bloke who gave me the hand on this because without his tools i would've been forced to go to the LBS and being charged $$$ and time for rebuilding a retro bike like this.

Problems I didn't even know you could have, cool, something else to worry about. I thought you could just drop a new threaded Campy headset onto these bikes and forget about it... that's what I'm planning to do with mine anyway. Maybe it won't be so simple.vaeske wrote:jeeze, well the frame was in good nick but the trouble was that the crown races had to be filed down for a fair bit before i can fit the campy headset on there. I was strugglng to find he right fitting one and it was inevitable at the end.

Hi, that's a Scorpio, I have one that I grabbed out of a hard rubbish pile and tidied uprangersac wrote:Need some advice from those who are clearly in the know. I've got a fantasy about rebuilding an old roadie, and this has just come up. Can anyone identify this, and do you think it's worth giving a crack? Asking price is $120, and apparently has shimano gears. I noticed it has stem shifters which get frowned upon by some.
Cheers
They're nothing special, just an entry level bike is my understanding.
It's not worth $120 in my opinion. I think you'd be much better looking out for something from the '80s with a cro-mo frame and without cottered cranks

I did a 74 raleigh flyer restoration a little while ago and on another page of the brochure was the scorpio.
it was when wearing the watches on the right handside was cool, but flairs were even cooler.

I would say yes. Raleigh owned the BSA bicycle 'company' (they owned virtually everybody in the end) and If its a post 1960 model it was likely made in Nottingham anyway.ldrcycles wrote:Question- is this the right place to post a BSA Tour of Britain, given it has a Raleigh branded Huret rear derailleur?
