Raleigh 300RC ?? Anybody have one?
I am picking up this bike in a couple of days I plan to get it going and see what happens, could anybody who owns one give me a bit more info
I have ridden one quickly, I am looking for something CroMo to possibly put a Nexus 7 into, I bought a Giant Innova which is coming along but this Raleigh is in far better condition, so will possibly get more attention.

I think these were stickered a Raleigh Pioneer in other parts of the world, I have had it at the back of the shed for a while, pulled it out today to get it running enough to ride to work.
I will stay 3 x 7 but will go with better cranks and a sealed BB (Gulp do not know how much work it is likely to be yet?!
)
It will end up with some LX components and maybe some Avid Single Digit levers and V Brake arms. Some Vittoria touring type 700 x 32c tyres, I will get some new CST 700 x 35-38c gumwall tyres soon.
I want to put some planet bike type Black Guards on but they can wait a few months
I need to find a better seat, change chain. I will replace rear(gear and brake) inner cables and lube and dress the outers, for the time being.
I will post a pic soon.

Looks like a real good platform. Do you know what year it is?

Hey le mans . . .sorry for the delayed response, mine was a shimano tourney? do not know if that was original or not, any 6-7-8 speed derailleur should work though
