Evening all,
First post here, so be gentle with me!
I'm building up a Raleigh special (I always had Raleigh bikes as a kid, so felt the need!), based on a Team Banana (the mass produced one) frame. Its going to end up looking a bit like my old Europa I had in the mid eighties.
Anyway, I would like to change the bottom bracket for a sealed unit, and know that it isn't always straightforward with a Raleigh frame. Like wise the headset. Can anyone help me with a suggestion for a suitable replacement BB and headset please? Frame is almost painted now (in the old Raleigh team colours, with some subtle alterations), so I'm getting ready to assemble.
Thanks in advance!
Bruce
