You can never have too many bikes.Hi all,
Thanks again for your help with ID'ing this 1987 Raleigh (8 months ago!).
I've just starting working on it again. Having (finally) got the BB out, I weighed the bare frame at 2045g. Based on my internet searching that seems to indicate a 531c. There is some evidence of yellow paint inside the headtube, which tallies with a model in the 1987 catalogue.
The fork is a 1990-stamped hi-ten Spinner (770g), so I'll look to replace that.
I've got a 7 speed RSX groupset from 1995 and some Dura-Ace brakes which I plan to put on it. As a child of the 90's I just cannot get on with downtube shifters (how are so many of you old school road riders still alive??).
I know this stuff doesn't "really" matter, but I might sell it in future (I have too many bikes) and I wouldn't want to mislead a buyer.
