The Team Raleigh that I raced on 1977 to 1980 (last resprayed - and rebadged - about 15 yrs ago)

Halesowen RR 1979 by windy_, on Flickr

It's being sent away for a respray this weekend - and Ive got some nice old campag bits for the rebuild (thanks Clarion)

I'm having a little moment here. I'm regularly delighted by posts on this thread, but rarely moved to comment. It's something to do with having met both of you (Windy & Clarion: courtesy of this forum, or one before it), but also to do with loving bikes and riding.

I think I know a little of the history of both these bikes from here/abouts, and seeing them both renewing their lives through your love/care/devotion makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Anyway, it's all lovely. Thanks for the pics, Windy.

That'll buff out!

But seriously that looks nasty

marcusjb · « **Reply #4131 on:** 16 February, 2011, 11:18:04 am »

oof!

Must have hit the pothole at a good old speed? Good that it's only the rim broken and not you!

David Martin · « **Reply #4132 on:** 16 February, 2011, 11:49:41 pm »

Dark, following someone else, seated and not far off 20mph. Something north of 92 kilos. The rim has now been replaced. The crack is visible on the inside wall as well, and there is a good ding on the crotchet bit of the sidewall.

The chap in the LBS said ' what colour rim do you want?' I replied that I didn't care as it would be winter grey within a few weeks anyhow.

That's so filthy as to be pornographic! I suggest that the rim self-destructed out of shame

Cheers Tewdric, not a vigorelli, an old 70's road frame, bought off the forum - can't remember who from now - and renovated

Me it was my late brother's, originally bought from Ribble Cycles for £76, someone had paid a deposit and not gone back for it, in 1977. I'm glad to see it getting used.

Aah yes, I remember now you were selling a Woodrup at the same time

It's a lovely frame, handles really nice

I must say that the lighting on the photo gives it a certain BBC2 historic research programme quality........

An update on my Thorn Raven Sport Tour - now with drops!!! It rides beautifully, and the Rohloff shifter is now on the accessory bar below the stem. I have also put the black B17 on since this photo, as it seems to suit the black bar tape better! The honey coloured B17 is on the tandem now.

YahudaMoon · « **Reply #4139 on:** 21 February, 2011, 07:21:00 pm »

Good choice. nice bike. How does it handle having a bag on the bars ? I've always used the rear of a bike for luggage/bags.
So would you say drops are a improvement ?

Feline · « **Reply #4140 on:** 21 February, 2011, 07:31:06 pm »

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!l I have just returned from a magnificent trip to Tewdric's SICRUT BWNCWR where my boxes of bits were magically transformed into this! Many many thanks to Tewdric for all his meticulous work building it, I learned a lot watching too.

I have a new baby

LindaG · « **Reply #4141 on:** 21 February, 2011, 07:34:56 pm »

Many congratulations!

I look forward to seeing more photos of your baby during- and post-PBP.

It's very, very nice.

YahudaMoon · « **Reply #4142 on:** 21 February, 2011, 07:39:40 pm »

Thats nice. I like the gear ratio ya picked. Ive got a Stronglight compact and need something smaller. what is your chainset, cost, ratio ? Thanks.

You really don't want to know!

That's beautiful!

And the bike's not too bad, either.

It's an SRAM Apex long rear mech with 11-32 cassette with an SRAM XX chainset (28/42) and front mech. The shifters and BB are Apex.The XX bits were pretty expensive (£390 from CRC) and I bought a whole Apex groupset for £400 from Fudge's cycles, but I will sell the front mech and chainset that I didn't use.

I reckon I can take Smalldean Lane on this baby! All I need to do now is learn how to ride it, I felt like a kid who just lost the stabilisers trying to ride drops for the first time!

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #4148 on:** 21 February, 2011, 08:03:04 pm »

Why Feline, you bike is puuuuurrrrrrtttttty!

Many Happy Miles.
