So the 1975 Shimano 105 5500 groupset is going on the DQ, I also ordered some all silver Mavic Open Air wheels built on Miche Primato hubs. They got damaged in transit and returned to sender before they arrived with me and I am waiting on a new pair being built so looking at a 2 week delay.
Will be running a Shimano Sora 9 speed cassette and KMC 9 speed chain, new tape and cables all round and gatorskins and conti tubes. Still have a small list of parts to buy.
Anyway here is the Raleigh 531c Luxe frameset I picked up on the LFGSS site.
This is going single speed with a flip flop hub no doubt, have rode or owned or bought any single speed parts in my life so any direction advice feel free.
