I put a couple of pics up of this bike when I first bought it, but today when I was cleaning it up to go in storage for winter I took a few more pics & here they are.

Nice!
Very classy build!
Looks great and imagine it rides very nicely.
I spent today building up my King Of Mercia, just with some stuff from the spares box as I had to realign the rear mech hanger and as its been in the loft for nearly 2 years thought I better fix it or sell it. Fixed it, rode it and it wont be going anywhere other than the painters for a refresh.
Look forward to hearing your road report.

I've had it five years, so it's been ridden a fair bit.

I have done some locals 10 mile TT's on it and it's pretty rapid (tubs are good). I reckon only 1.5 minutes slower than my TT bike. It's also quick up hills, but that's more to do with the bottom gear being 42 x 18 so it's either ride hard and go fast or walk!

I've got a 753 Raleigh TT Special as a winter project, can't wait to give that a go. Full respray required though before I can build it up.
