Some of you know the history of my Raleigh Airlite 100; a great starter bike marred by a poor fork. Mine was replaced under warranty - this is the carbon replacement from a U6 model.

The bike frame had a damaged rear stay from being blown over in Leeds (Google "Bridgewater Place and wind").

I can't find a Raleigh Airlite frame so this is onto eBay as part of a clearout. Start price £40.

I'm not holding my breath - but is there clearance for 25c tyres and a mudguard?

My fork has no more room with a raceblade fitted over 23s. Sorry to go a little bit off topic, but do 25s give you any trouble with the raceblades? Mine have been rubbed away quite a lot just by swaying against the 23s over rough stuff (even with duct tape on the back of the guard to keep the bracket steady).

I use 23's mainly with Raceblades but have had 25's with them. I take time to get them running smoothly however.

Also my Raleigh Team runs 28mm tyres under Raceblade Longs without any difficulty. These appear to be just that little bit wider.
