I've had this since it was new and although this is the third Frame due to some dodgy brazing on Raleigh's part it's largely original with the obvious exception of the pedals. It is currently in use as my daily commuter with the occasional ride out and normally sports a pair of clip-on sprayguards
It has the original drivetrain although I'm starting to experience problems with the chain skipping on the cassette under load so I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case! It had the original transfers until about 12 months ago when they started to flake off so I have since removed them, the only survivors being the Reynolds K2 label and a Jo Burt sticker on one of the rear stays.
The Titanium bars were swapped out due to the overly large centre bulge making the fitting of Bar-ends nearly impossible without severely compromising hand space and the BB is now a Deore cartridge rather than the original Tange open-bearing type. I have also rebuilt both wheels with DT Swiss Competition spokes in the last week. The Seatpin and Saddle were replaced some time ago although I can't recall the exact reason, probably a welded adjuster bolt.
Anyway, I've been lurking about for a while and thought I'd join in![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
