Well winston, i've done alot of thinking, considering your previous posts and have been looking and weighing various bikes in each hand and all things aside I don't think she's any heavier than the Giant road bike that I use for training,sportives etc and as long as the frame isn't damaged I think that it'll probably outlast a cheap alloy frame.A nice new paint job , wicked wheels , a Brooks saddle etc and I think she'll look ok.
I'd be interested to see what your mate is up to. cheers -
My point entirely, this bike is just to ride for riding's sake, i've other rides for speed, mtb etc and i like the 'retro look' with this one.
Ps Any views on 'dura-ace 'track hubs? -
Sure, this is the problem that i'm up against, but a modern alloy frame doesn't have the the feel or responsiveness? of the Reynolds frame , even if it's only 501.

yep black and gold , gold cranks , brakes etc not aero tubing though.

Hi, I have an old 'record sprint' that i'm kinda fond of?! and am in the process of stripping her down for a paint job and rebuild as a fixie. Am i mad ? considering the low cost of production fixed bikes i.e fuji, lemond etc , they don't seem to have the character or the handling for that matter, that the old Raleigh does, but i can see my costs escalating already. What d'you reakon?
nice one! I see you have followed the trendy debadged look ! my photo's to follow.
