I've recently acquired a (mid 1980s) Reynolds 753R (the imperial size 753 racing tube set) frame (size 56) - it has a Raleigh SB number (SB7953) and 753R decals, so I presume that it is 753 ?
The rear dropouts are 126mm; I heard that 753 frames cannot be cold-sprung.
What would be the best choice for wheels - should I go for a 7 speed cassette or should I look for a 6 speed freewheel ?
Anyone have any such 700c wheels (126mm) for 7 speed cassette to sell ?
Can anyone tell me what the original seat bolt would have been like ? Would it have been an allen key bolt ? Imperial fitting ? Does anyone know what size ?
Any other advice about suitable bits would be gratefully received[/img]
