WANTED - Raleigh Castorama frameset.
- Thread starter pm3k
- Start date
My 653 doesn't have shot in stays, it does however have Giro winner sticker 
I built it up with the 7 speed Dura Ace groupset of the age, Mavic GEL280 rims, cinelli bars and stem and rolls saddle. a few years later had added some 8 speed STI which no longer work very well over the 7 speed cassette. Seems I'm going to need a new hub and modern cassette to get the STI working as the Dura Ace 7 speed cassette is not compatible with anything else :?
I may just return to the downtube shifters. Will post a picture when it's sorted either way.
By the way, contacted Raleigh about replacement stickers as I have another frame thats in need of renovation and fancied another Castorama, however Raleigh don't keep them anymore.

Meant to add that I've also got a tatty Road Ace frameset, from memory it was the first version of the Road Ace, had 600ex aero equipment on it.
Lastly have a Dynatech low profile frameset with 26inch front wheel. It's the purple one (in case there were others) Is there a market for such an item?
