    raleigh record sprint

    The bike you're thinking of was called an Eclipse. Same price & spec as a Record Sprint only with a different colour scheme. I had one around 88 if memory serves, cost £199 at the time.

    Raleigh Strada or Corsa

    My mate had the Strada in 89. It was an odd purple/blue colour. It cost £319 back then. It had 531 maintubes with hi-ten steel triangle & forks. They also came with a relaxed geometary & would take mud guards. At the same time I had an Elix, slightly racier geo', Exage group, strange blue...

    SORTED HAPPILY-Wtd - Red Team Raleigh (SBDU or replica)-531

    yeah....that's the guy. Dave's knowledge really is encyclopedic on all things "retro/vintage". I was in the shop just last week buying some clipped pedals for my Eroica bike. He sponsors the club I ride for & is a good guy. His shop is a treasure trove of "the rare & beautiful!"... Andy.

    Any suggestions for retro-looking amber wall tyres?

    I use Veloflex Pave's. Admittedly they don't get alot use so I can't vouch for their longevity but they certainly look the part. PBK usually have them at good prices.

    eroica 2011

    Hi Fella's I entered the event last week. I'm hoping to get in but when is this confirmed? I paid via paypal (€35 option?) so the monies have gone. I don't want to commit to booking flights & a hotel until I've been given the nod by the organisers. I'm really looking forward to doing the...
