Hi grogee I'm no raliegh tubing expert, but there are some experts in here so they might correct me if I'm wrong but ... "front forks with a lampholder made of 753 ? " I can't see that being right somehow. The geometry also looks wrong to me.
753 = race tubing = go faster = lighter = top end = race geometry
Just some thoughts my friend All the best yours Laz.
PS: )
Do I need specific braze-on indexed shifters if I'm coming from band-on indexed shifters? "I'd stay away from indexed altogether and go for friction assuming you already have brase-on posts"
2) What colour bar tape should I go for? Not what colour my friend, what type Comfort over colour, then colour. I always try & match saddle to bar tape, but each to their own
3) Should I tidy the dining room? "Absolutely not .... looks good to me ... just how a frontroom should look "
