Hello to all, I am of course new to the forum so all criticism eagerly anticipated ?
First of all if this thread goes on a tad then I apologise in advance,
In an attempt to re kindle my love affair with road biking I am after a Raleigh TI frame and I'm looking at bedecking it with everything new,
The spec I am after is everything Campag with Mavic rims, cineplex bars and stem or maybe a one piece combo in carbon ?
My heart is telling me to go down the NOS Campag route but to enjoy riding it I think I may well require the shifters on the brakes as opposed to on the frame ?
My biggest problem having been away from road bikes for so long I haven't got a clue what fits what ?
I'm looking on eBay and can see stems but I don't know what length ? Quill ? Dia etc ? Likewise bottom bracket, thread size etc,
I don't want this to put me off but I'm banging my head against a wall !
My last road bikes were a Raleigh 531 radnourd I think ?
And a freddy grubb track frame,
I'm he'll bent on a red black and yellow TI frame set as this was the bike to be seen on when I was a lad,
I'm fast approaching 40 and would like to celebrate by knocking something up that will inspire me to ride it !
Thanks in advance,
