Hi
The rain stopped for a short while yesterday so I snapped a few phone pics of the 84 Sirocco that's finally been turned back into a complete bike.
Bought it a while ago minus wheels and in a sorry state but it was too good to scrap so I've bought it back to life with a pair of nice wheels, some bits out the box, a few new ancillaries and some pathetically mis-matched paint touch ups.
Too big for me (unless I can get some leg extensions) so I'll be moving it on. It'll make a nice Sunday tootler for some six footer.
23½" frame is 501 butted, 14 speed Shimano 105/Sora gears with 600 indexed/light action shifters, wheels are Mavic rims on Shimano hubs with Vittorio Intrepid Kevlar 25mm tyres. Brakes are Weinmann 500QR.
All true, smooth and working properly.
I reckon it was worth saving as it was Raleighs entry level race bike in it's day and although it's no longer all original it still looks like a proper bike.
Regards
Tony
