I agree, just fell short when seeking approval from the treasurer, so that will be the next mods. I'm considering a factory 5 stem so I can go for a more compact, wider bar and get my position a little more dialed. I might go for a carbon seatpost also. It's funny, out of two mates, one loves the all black look, the other almost cried when he saw it!

Hi All,
First time post. I've taken much inspiration from this thread and have completed my own restoration. 1984 Raleigh Team Panasonic Replica in Reynolds 531c 62cm. I had a local automotive painter do the paint work and I applied the cyclomondo decal set, which was then clear coated over 4 times. It sports a full set of Shimano 105, Light Bicycle 50mm carbon clinchers shod with 28mm Gatorskins, Brooks carved C17, Van Nicholas 27.2mm Titanium post, original stem and bar, wrapped in ESI silicone tape. For the sharp of eye, I am running an 11-32 cassette as it is somewhat hilly in this part of NZ. Enjoy!
