Hello
I've not been around Retrobike for a while - I kinda stopped cycling for a bit...
My lovely old Raleigh SPD frame I'ld been taking up and down the river valley to work was great - up to the point where we moved house and there's now a lot more hills involved...
a very oversized frame is quite fun to ride - until you hit a hill!
So I recently picked up a old Harry Quinn bike off eBay, and swapping some of the more modern parts over to the frame (I'm not going to get the hang of downtube shifters - sorry!)
Picked up a Stronglight A9 from Amazon... went to put it in and turns out that my bike seems to have another size other than ISO - the bottom race wouldn't fit on.
I'm thinking the dimensions are the older english size.. which is the same as JIS I think?
Any headset recommendations?
