Upgraded Raleigh Record Sprint, with 105 brakes, and Campag Xenon gears. Swapped the 105 chainset for a compact.
Takes me many places around the Yorkshire Dales, a whole lot quicker!!!

Well, I'm late to the party (as usual) but I finally found a thread this one fits and I even have the obligatory "in front of the garage door" shot! Sadly I don't have it any more ..............
Early 80's FUJI Supreme 27" frame, 700c wheels, Ultegra derailleurs and a 7 speed freewheel. It was a shade tall for me, a 25" is my normal size but it rode great. I had DT shifters on it at first but it was a bit too much of a reach and got a little spooky sometimes.

This is kinda funny, I don't see a 25"/25.5" bike as being tall, the others are just small, lol.

Fresh off the work stand and awaiting its test ride. And a beautiful day for it! 62cm 92 paramount. The 59 cm top tube is a hair long as I'm only 6 'tall. The rest fits beautifully.

Wow, some gorgeous bikes being posted, makes my poor old FUJI look a little shabby, hopefully the new "old FUJI" will make up for it when I get it done. I really like the Raleigh collection but this Centurion made me quietly say "Oooh" to myself. Can't put my finger on what it is exactly but it really struck a chord.

Not mine, but I always thought this might be the largest frame I had ever seen. There could be some here to rival it though.

Thanks Murray, Bruce, and Seeds!
And yes, this thread is fantastic. So many beautiful bikes -- that would actually fit me! Southpaw clearly has exquisite taste. And one of my under-the-radar favorites here is Roger M's green PR10. Love everything about it.
