I think I'll be safe going for a drop around 50-55mm.
I see you have gone SS/fixed Oddjob. I was thinking about doing it but have kept it retro 6 speed stylee with a modern twist ( derailleurs that work ). I have kept the down tube shifters because being an old fart I'm used to using them I'll post a pic in a couple of days.
Love my sprints. Got 3 of them. never had a problem with the campag derailleurs. Just find them gears a bit high on them thar hills. Pics here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/23172121@N07/
Hi
The first had never been used before I got it. It was as it came out of the box. It even has the original Raleigh bar tape under the scruffy padded stuff I have put on. Original pristine saddle has been set aside as it was not that comfy. I realy like it and find it a delight to ride but am considering changing the gearing to lower it a little which will take it away from the totally original theme. But there a are few Lancashire hills around here that test the knees. The other scruffy one I use for an everyday bike as it has a few scratches here and there but what can you expect for £26. Although it has these beautiful black rimmed wheels with gold hubs. Don't know if these were standard or not.
