Here's my Raleigh Road Ace 1984 model.
Groupset is all Shimano 600AX, with Dura Ace AX bars. Mavic GP4 rims, Iscaselle saddle.
Most of the groupset is NOS, there are a few tiny 'upgrades' which are:
- Dura Ace AX centre pulls on the calipers
- Dura Ace AX stem cap (its metal instead of blue plastic)
And one spec error:
- Tyres are Clement Futura's (one of the last Thai made with the old style logo), these would be a good alternative to the super rare Ritmos the 1983 model should have - but as this is '84 it should be wearing Vittorias....
Anyway there you go - it took buying Road Aces in double figures to be able to piece one together this good in my size (22.5")
