1990 Raleigh Castorama Team Bike

1990 Raleigh Castorama Team Bike

This is Thierry Marie's Cyfac built 'Raleigh' Castorama team bike which I built up from frame and forks that I had renovated by Cyfac last year. It's C-Record throughout and 653 tubing. 1990 was the year Marie won the prologue in the Tour and spent the first stage in yellow, this could have been the frame ridden on the first stage!!

( Original paint scheme on this track bike : http://www.photosinthedark.com/Personal ... lton_3.jpg )
Full highly polished 105SC group set
Wolber rims

I was going to fit a white Rolls and aero Shimano seat post but I like the Black on white look.

Very pretty, but the geometry looks really slack or is that just camera angle? very large gap between rear wheel and seat tube?
