Not mine but looks pretty good. £400 -
Lovely Merckx MX leader f&f - Ebay £795

If you do go for drop bars it’s a good idea to have the correct cable pull to suit the v brakes or cantis - I got these & they feel really nice & only £18 at the moment:

or if you’re quick a set for a tenner on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tektro-RL520-Drop-Bar-Brake-Levers-Silver-/282652115147?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
My original cantis were in a state so gave up & got some V brakes which were a doddle to set up & sit over the biggish mudguards well. I’ve got a stronglight triple with 52/46/32 but the outer ring is just as a bashguard really, though it will pick up the chain. I haven’t managed to push 52-11 yet! It may as well be single speed as I’m in the 46 all the time. -
I’ve turned a’91 Raleigh ‘531’ MTB into a drop bar tourer, inspired by http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/828426-show-your-vintage-mtb-drop-bar-conversions.html
Mine’s on p.225 - bars look a bit odd due to the camera angle. I’m used to it now & it`s been great on local lanes in the ploughing season muck - probably not a problem in the city! Good luck with it! -
I think these would sell pretty easily on Retrobike - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 Good luck!

Hoping to find something to replace a broken frame - a repaint or some work no problem. Full bike would be a possibility, up North so would need posting unless you`re here too! Dates would mean my surviving components could go on Ok.
Any offers & a pic or 2 would be very welcome, Many thanks, Julian -
