Raleigh Castorama Build. So far.....

A few more bits have been added over the summer, and a couple of bits are on their way.

All I need now are gear levers (Record friction if anyone has some going spare) and a front mech (again Record) from 89-91.

If anyone saw the carcking Castorama rep in Augusts RBOTM, that was a bang on replica of Fignon's machine. This is not to that standard as I have the wrong pedals, wrong saddle, wrong stem (not shown) and wrong bars. That's my preference though - Rolls over Turbo, Look over Time, and Cinelli over 3ttt.

Oh, and Benotto white bar tape also still required.

Take a look, see what you think!!

Matt

You might regret your choice of cassette when you come to actually ride it! The build is looking great though!
 
Ha ha!! It's a 13-18, the wheels are some TT wheels that I had around 1990. The small ring on the chainset is a 39, so it won't be too bad. Hopefully!
