Newbie question 1: if I go with a 126mm hub can I still fit a 9speed cassette?
You certainly can. I run a 7speed with a spacer on one bike and a 9 speed cassette on my raleigh clubman. I'm going to try a 10 speed cassette on my bob jackson build also spaced at 126mm.
Good luck with the build.
Party on. It's all a bit confusing I'll be honest but I'm sure it'll come together. Probably with a bit of money down the drain but it's all good fun.

I wouldn't try to flex that - it's got a monostay right? Made of carbon bonded into ally lugs?
You can get 126 wheelsets and hubs pretty easily. I've got a couple of 126 rear hubs I don't need, a 70s record and an 80s Royce. High quality nos 6 speed freewheels like Reginas can be a little expensive as they're getting a bit thin on the ground.

Right, I need some help with my first Road build. I bought this Raleigh Dyna-Tech 700 from Law, It's a stunner (imo) and I want to do it justice with some period(ish) parts, preferably shiny silver, preferably Shimano?
I need everything, wheels, group set, the lot. So if anyone has any nice bits or advise please, chime in! I'll be scouring the classified as well of course.
I'm a bit concerned about the rear spacing being 126mm and that these frames have been know to crack if you run a 130mm hub. I've had mixed advice on this, most people saying foggetabooutit but I'd appreciate any experiences people have had. I know Law (previous owner) ran a 130mm and had no problems...

Thanks Mr Bump. Yeah i've heard the stories of the wishbone cracking if spread but the previous owner said he ran a 130mm and it was fine. It may have even sort of cold set the stays to 130???? Anyway, I'm going to risk it i think as it opens up much more options as you say.
Really don't want down tube shifters. So this isn't really period I guess. I just don't want a modern, fugly group.

Recently bought a Raleigh Dyna-Tech 700 F&F and i'm looking to build it up with good quality Shimano parts of the period (90's). Ultegra 105 etc
This is my first road build so i'm very clueless as to what I should buy but I know it wants to be 8,9,10 speed and shiny shiny silver!
Any opinions and of course groups for sale welcome
