1986 Raleigh

ra44510

Retro Newbie
Almost finished. Still need to source chain and cables.

Not sure about the bar tape. Colour looked different on the ad, but I fitted it to see. Would rather it matched the saddle and hoods better but I have not been able to find any.

Bar angle needs a little work too, but I need some dry weather for test rides first.

Frame was resprayed by Argos. Virtually everything replaced with new old stock Campagnolo Super Record or C Record. Wheels are Mavic MA40 with Campag hubs.

Nice work.. What's the colour?

It's a sort of cherry red metallic. The original was bright post box red, as you see in all the publicity pictures fron the old Raleigh Team. I was never a fan of that. My first road bike in the sixties was a cherry red Raleigh, so I went with that.
 
Jagwire cables. Of course. Silly me, thanks.

Modern chain as well, or is there something suitable from the 80's?
