The Raleigh, which will be donating many of its parts, including a handbuilt wheelset with Shimano dynamo and B&M lights, 1 x 8 speed setup with Claris derailleur and trigger shifter.
The comfy bars will be staying but I might be in the market for a positive rise stem, as I think the head tube is a fair bit shorter on the Muddy Fox.
Would like to go for cantis not V brakes, so thinking to keep the silver Tektro levers and pick up something like the Dia Compe DC 980 brakes.
I'll also need a small front rack that mounts to the canti posts, which the basket will sit on. Thinking Nitto or Velo Orange for the rack unless there's a decent budget one in silver.
Then definitely fatter tyres needed, and gumwalls. Most likely something from Panaracer. Nicer mudguards than the current Chromoplastics too.
