Frame is a Team Raleigh, that I raced on 1978-1981 whenI was in the Nottingham based 'VC Europa' .
When I left the club and joined Halesowen I had a new Henry Burton frame (built by Henry's original builder Charly Bettley) and used the Raleigh as a second bike having it re-sprayed and rebadged as a Henry Burton some years later and was using it as a fixie. It was last re-sprayed in the late 90s, was starting to look worse for wear so I've had it done again and re-built it with gears for italy
Spec as follows:
Wheels are Dura-Ace hubs with Sputnik rims and Panaracer Pasella 32c tyres
Cinelli Bars/Stem
Campag Nouvo Record gears and brake levers
Shimano Dura Ace Calipers
Pedals are Assos with cinelli clips
To keep the 'retro' look, I'm using a Selle San Marco Regal saddle with copper rails and rivets and I've converted an FSA Gimondi single to a double giving me 48/38
I'm waiting on a new block and chain as the one on the pic is worn and not running smoothly (6spd 14-24)
