Retro Newbie
hi guys, new here.
ive rencelty got my hands on a Raleigh nitro to do a rebuild on. my bike was stolen recently and I've wanted to build a retro mtb for some time. so here it goes.
I know its heavy but I don't mind, I'm used to little or no gears as i usually have road bikes.
in my mind I need a few things cleared up
first, its gotta tiny forks and I think an integrated headset- I wanna swap that out for some suspension and a modern headset. ive seen the quill stem adapters but is there suspension that would work with that?
secondly, what would be a good drivetrain, want a completely new set up. bottom bearing, crankset, derailer, back wheel and sprocket. happy to have only gears on back.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
im also looking for these parts - ill have a look see on for sale also, thought it would be good to add in.
ive got a dmr 26 comp front wheel- not really needed for this, but looking for 2 pretty good ones to replace happy to swap or if there's matching on out there that be cool.
any drive train bits
replacement cantilever brakes and levers
seat and post
basically everything but the frame!
cheeeeeeeeers! moth
