    Shimano Stx Rc

    I agree the second hand chainset is the best option and it's an mc32 stx so all the rings are steel so will last almost forever.

    Funky Univega

    Great custom paint job. Looks very similar to the Univega 7.5 I once owned, although no rear canti bridge on yours.

    Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

    Wanted Black 32 Hole Matching Rims (no hubs)

    I bought a pair of black rims from spa cycles recently. Made by Exal which is basically Alesa. They are the LX17 models, double wall, double eyelets and machined sidewall. Only downside is their heavy at approx 540g. But they are £16 quid new.
