Raleigh Banana 531c Build.

[velocipede]

Great builds! On the topic of headset for a short steerer, had the same issue with my Scapin. Wanted to install a new Campagnolo Record on but the total stack height was too big, so I resorted to the trusted but ugly 105 headset. After a lot of research, I found that Tange Levin CDS have some of the smallest stack height and that’s what I installed. They’re pretty hard to come by though.

I had same problem last year and discovered that SJS had a good stock of them - just in case anyone is looking!!

More money wasted. Just has to be a Cinelli cockpit.

Cinelli 1A stem and 64-42 bars. Also a little peek at the Merckx and Record Sprint.

Black XA or 1R still the preferred option IMO

Gotta love Raleigh. It has some of the most iconic retro paint jobs out there. Panasonic, Banana, team Raleigh Ti and Castorama .
