The RB 'what I bought/ found/ scrounged' this week thread

oooh look..a Raleigh Record Sprint...nice find !!

I picked up some very good condition black Topline cranks off ebay for £40 delivered, which I was pretty pleased with. Complete with original box.

Also an Ofmega Premier front derailleur for £11 delivered.

picked this up today alpine..something..stars.

cro-mega i'm sure but unsure what seperates the LX/DX/XT thing, apart from components. same f+f?

anyway i paid small dollar and, just as well! nothing works and needs a repaint. fortunately no dents or detected cracks and enough original parts to keep identity true.

ser: P11701401.


This is just heaven to me, a do-er up-er. next year a build thread may pop up. after letting go of the 1992 cro-mega, which was spanking good in every way, i was always going to try pick up the non-scaffold tube one, here it is....................

That's really nice mark, I am a little jealous as I've been after a cro-mega for a while.

Some badly listed Raleigh / Dyna-Tech U.G.L.I. Titanium forks.

The guys at the LBS STILL haven't got the old shop cleared out yet. They had to rent it for another month so they can finish. Most of the back room has been sorted. Picked up a few trinkets today.
