    1996 Raleigh Royal Reynolds 708

    Looks great, been looking at a couple of these for a light tourer, what tyre clearance can you get away with in it? Current winter bike is 28c with mudguards, 32c without. Aiming to beat that

    I had a 501 tubed Criterium Triathlon that was circa ‘87-‘88 that had brazed forks if that helps, thread here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/raleigh-criterium-triathlon-i-think.380662/

    What are the nicest 10-speed levers?

    Re: Maybe not one for the snobs but in from the left field is the Tiagra 4700’s had them on a couple of bikes and the shifting is way better than the 5700’s.

    I’ll go out and measure it, it’s for 700c wheels, I had 25c tyres on it and clearances were close.

    Based just outside Bristol (Nailsea) but can post, would need to get a quote but probably something around £10-15. A full bike is about £30 to post

    Bought this frame a while back as a pub frame, built it up but clearance was just too tight for mudguards. I’ve had it sandblasted and I’ve re-sprayed it with a ‘Charlie white pearl’ not an exact replica colour but close. Had H.Lloyd make me up a set of reproduction decals with the green...
