I've got a 83/84 Raleigh Wisp mixte frame (5 speed, with cro-mo tubing) which I'm going to build up for the missus. It's still got the Raleigh Custom-A chainset which will be going, on the OEM bottom bracket.
I've got a Stronglight 52/42 chainset to go on, with Shimano Exage 300ex rear mech and front mech. I'll be putting a new 6 speed freewheel onto the Maillard hubs with a new chain too.
Question is, how do I tell what bottom bracket it is, whether it will fit the stronglight chainset, and whether the chainline is going to be correct? Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.
The rest of the plan is for VO Belleville bars, with reverse Diacompe levers, index levers mounted on thumb shifter mounts, a new paint job, and new tyres and tubes.
Thanks
