ID this vintage Raleigh...

It's pretty close to me, and it's got some nice bits that I may be able to use even if the frame isn't all that great.

Seller says it has a Campy front hub, Phil Wood rear hub, and Brooks saddle....

Maybe try adding some keywords to your title... like "Vintage Schwinn World Voyageur 56cm Road Bike." I wouldn't be scared of the Schwinn name. For someone who knows bikes, they'll know it's not a...

I'm not sure this one is fully done, but it's a whole lot closer than what I started with.

Very cool build! Is it bare metal, or clear coated right now? It's kinda neat to see the brazing at the joints, though your paint scheme sounds like it would be awesome.

Thank you for letting me know about that. I inspected it carefully, and it's fine as of right now. Is this something I should just inspect regularly before I ride, or should I start shopping for a...

Found a Trek 613 - rides great, but there's work to be done!

Just bought this '82 Trek a couple days ago from the local Craigslist. It unfortunately went through a single speed "conversion" and is missing most original components. However, I took it for a ride...

Classic components on modern bikes?

I've seen many examples of classic frames built up with decades-newer components (brifters, aero wheels, etc.). But, I haven't seen many of the reverse; modern frames built up with vintage...

Stupid question I'm sure, but here it goes:

1984 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe - should I go for it?

I'm in need of a proper road bike; mostly for early morning rides with my wife down a nearby country road. We've just gotten into biking after a long absence, and all I have right now that fits is an...
