Re: Looking for a bike for the rock I live in and luck brought me here. That is a beautiful build!!!

Pref alloy and not carbon, with 1 inch steerer, and a long one (headtube is 18.5cm/ 7.2 in) Thanks Nick

Got this babe, from ebay, but can't find any info on the net. Does anybody know anything about it?

That would be easy :D It has a Raleigh badge but it says Rahala instead of Raleigh, on it. Also it has 26 inch wheels.

Trying to find the brand. Belongs to a friend and he is about to restore it.

http://www.ebay.de/itm/140918440629 Check the guys other listings for the rest of the bike!!!!

That is all I found too. But those are Chinese alloy stuff (crap?). This is double butted fuji cromo and looks really good. Is it though?

Do we know anything bout this babe? Looks super, but cant find any info....

Will do that. And of course the chain goes on the outside, ending up on the road. It does that though (at least up to now) when not pedalling and after some bump, which makes me also wonder about chain length. Need to measure everything again, I guess, and go from there. I would do so if...

On the smallest two sprockets. (I have not measured the chain line :oops: ) If it is way big I afraid I will have to get reed of the ring, as it is about 3-4mm from the chainstay...(Putting from the inside of the crank is not an option -no space to do it)

chain problem... Chain keeps jumping out of the ring, on the last two cogs. Any ideas? I am allready using the 118mm BB. Should the 123mm fix that? (very unpleasant feeling, especially riding inside Athens. Some of you know how we drive down here....)

BL-M740 :wink: Thanks :)

Thanks everybody :) I went with the 12-36 cassette, as 48 chainring is rather big, but looks great. I cover about 20-25 miles daily and will see how it goes, as there are no big uphills. I will consider a 45 if this proves to hard, as this was my previous bike setup (same cassette) The...

Finally finished.... New XT derailleur on polished LX hubs and Sapim inox spokes on Rigida Sputniks (and a small ding looking big due to color....) Sram Attack with Kona Cowan grips and XT levers Cheap (6euro) cable stop, from ebay. Works perfect and is small enough not to...

I got a pair of XT739 Vs and I am looking for 739 or 740 hubs to fit a 9speed cassete. I also have my eyes on a NOS 750 derailleur, but I need to check if it covers the 11-36 cassete. Help appreciated... Since this is a road bike actually, and no abuse is going to be put to it, I would...
