    Raleigh Randonneur. Optimistically Priced; To Say The Least!

    Doesn't @Guinessisgoodforyou own 99% of the remaining randonneurs? If so he must be sitting on a gold mine!

    Raleigh Randonneur. Optimistically Priced; To Say The Least!

    I'd expect better bottle cages on a used bike at that price. Oh, and discs and STIs😉

    Seatposts

    Use a long shim, preferably 100mm min. The short shims break frames, especially if they have an elevated seattube. USE plastic shims are forgiving. You want a tight fit along the length

    Today's Ride

    Tina and I rode to tintern for coffee, then back through the woods. Tubeless started to leak due to old fluid, so i stuffed in a tube😍

    Did you find the campagnolo qrs? Thread says sorted but there's ambiguity and I came across a pair this eve look like the right sort of period

    Wanted 1" ahead disc rigid fork

    I think a steel fork with curved blades would look best, also hoping to keep the price at the lower end, but thank you for the consideration

    How much is my road bike (or parts of) worth?

    It's the sort of thing best put on an ebay auction. It's an unlikely part to fake, as there are multiple materials and technologies involved. An eBay user will advise if they look like a copy. As New condition toestraps could easily be very desirable, and the 50th anniversary kit is a focus...

    And take modernisation nicely 😉

    Sprint rim brand

    It's not an uncommon name I don't think it would have anything to do with stickers on super champion sprints in Europe.

    Sprint rim brand

    I'm worried this is turning into "Rim Nerds' Corner"🤔

    Sprint rim brand

    I did wonder why superchamps often said Wolber, but often didn't, even though the label design was almost identical👍

    Sprint rim brand

    It's very likely. when smallish uk builders offered complete bikes, some components got custom stickers. But many manufacturers themselves also did it. The world champ sticker over the join I've seen before - even that gold sans-serif performance label seems familiar.

    Sprint rim brand

    They were everywhere. I bet @Guinessisgoodforyou has a few dozen pairs on bikes, and a shed in the garden whose door no longer closes fully due to the quantity of Wobbly SuperCs on small- flange Normandy hubbed wheels 🤔

    Sprint rim brand

    I've spent decades looking at and repairing bicycle wheels. This happens - you see a component and your brain does a "Google lens" @Nob 's brain probably does too As long as its 70s TT kit😉

    Kit looks mostly original Frame, geometrically interesting, but gaspipe gauge.

    Wolber pops up in my mind like freshly made toast.

    Mystery bike. Trying to identify.

    I'd put one in my museum of "How consumerism corrupted the bicycle industry" The interesting thing is it must've taken more effort (hence real cost) to make than the Hardrock, and yet would have been cheaper to buy. A classic example of Chinese product dumping that got legislated against, and...

    Mystery bike. Trying to identify.

    There was a fashion for complex dh- style bikes in the late 90s by catalogue brands, some ran into the 2000s. You'll often find the same frame with a variety of stickers on. It's kind of fun and historic, but need a strong dash of irony👍
