  I have the Tarpstar 2, or did till a fox bit one of the corner off
  Looking at the online reviews I'd say that the Lanshan pro looks better made and , has been noted , you can open it up to get a better view .

• Raleigh Randonneur Reynolds 708 frameset plus extras

  in Complete bikes and frame & forks • 2 months, 2 weeks

  

  My experience of bikes of that vintage is that you should be able to fit 32's and mudguards without any problems. 38's , depending on your rim, might be a challenge

  As someone who rode that model in the 80s, I can confirm that the Claude Butler was built for 27" wheels.

  Ridley cross bike
  Fork is Kinesis
  Sora + strong light chain set with 46/34 rings.
  Also have spares.
  Not really using it and will need space shortly
  Fun to ride; it's fast and more fun than my Sonder Frontier.

  Needs a new BB and you can see what else is required.

  So, before I take it to the bike shop and spend more money, would anyone be interested.

  I agree; but the bike market, new or used, is flat as the fens.
