I finally worked out how to post pic for above post:
Raleigh Record Sprint 64cm.

I have a black Raleigh Record Sprint 64cm, 501 Aerospace concour tubing. I'm 5ft 11ins and although I prefer larger
frames it's always been on the 'too big' side for me.
Good condition fitted with recent Schwalbe marathon 700 x
28 road tyres and Rolls San marco seat with gold bits to
match all the other gold bits (crank, pedals, brakes, etc). Although fitted with narrow straight bars (gold of course) I
still have the original gold drops and gold brake levers.
Apart from changing the handlebars, pedals and seat the
bike is completely original.
Ideally looking for £150, Any interest?

I'm in Welling Kent/London borders..
I can pm pics (or at least I think I can?)...

How about one of those oldie wind up gramophones strapped to a strong bike rack?
The needle might jump a bit on the speed bumps but great for awesome wheelies!

Hi Bearhawk,
Is the 55cm measurement mid-crank to top of seat tube?
Would you sell the frame/cash, if so about how much?
What area are you in?

Sorry if that's a lot of questions but I may be interested.
Thanks..

Differ and Mesa Boogie to your hearts content M8.
Trace Elliot - the best - and for sale here...

*(Was that too obvious a plug Morgasm? only trying to help)

Trace Elliot were always considered the 'Dogs Whatsit's' of bass amps
and at 600 watts thats some powerfull bass combo!
Any bass players on here or even glaziers because this amp could easily
blow someones windows out! Hee-hee..

Lovely looking and nice frame. Well done sniffy!

needs to have a spelling lesson, or two.

Hee-hee..

Glad someone else noticed.

Another article from the Guardian generally about black / non-white riders in
cycle racing. It all builds a picture of the sport in general. Maurice Burton, mainly
a track rider 70's and 80's, also mixed race, is mentioned in this report too.

There has been a problem for years!

Read this link/story about Maurice Burton, fantastic rider from Forest Hill London,
now owns De Ver Cycles. I was riding with VCL in the early 70's, the racism bit was
well known about by all of us at the time. Maybe nothing has changed, awfull shame!

Wowww!!!
Well worth pushing the extra weight for all that lovely shiny chrome.

So you are giving it away!
If someone gives you, How much??

Just thought I would mention, thread is now over 240 replies and still
growing. A reasonable observation to point out, I think!
Although it is bound to provoke yet another illiterate outburst from
the Newt.

Nearly 200 replies on this one. Is this a record?

Totally amazed by this thread!

They would be really handy in this weather and I have a wider
pair of 700 wheels too.
Where are you located dstel?

No offense taken Gizmond, just new to this forum and trying to
join in after many years away from cycling. Will try to keep replies
relevant in future, not used to forums!
But no problem at all just pleased to be here!

Thanks Ancientfixie, still racking my old brains for this one!

did you even read the posts?

Yes I did!
Do you have a problem with a newbee posting Gizmond?

Just thought it would be OK on this forum to post an ocassional reply
and many thanks for the friendly gesture! Have a nice day.

I was around in the sixties too, lived in Sydenham.
Didn't Holdsworth have a shop in Anerley Hill?
Seem to remember they also sold Claud Butler frames. T'was a while ago now!

Chainring to rear sprocket ratios can be achieved many ways, 48/18 sounds
a sensible starting point.
If you want to be critical about gear ratios don't forget to take the pedal crank
length into account as per Sheldon Brown's link below:
http://sheldonbrown.com/gain.html
It gets just a bit more technical than first thought!

Another thought; Would a 12 (or 11) teeth cog wear out really quick, more strain
on each tooth - the smaller the cog, distribution of force from chain on cog?
