voila! introducing the POB001, my 1st ever complete road build.

based on '74 Raleigh Grand Sport Reynolds 531 frame and fork.
home painted HEMI orange + marine grade clearcoat. completed with Tange headset; GB stem/bar; Weinmann centerpull brakes + perforated levers + custom leather housing; Campagnolo Chorus crank + Camapgnolo/Stronglight rings 51/42 on Campy Veloce BB; Lyotard road pedals; Suntour VX front/rear derailleurs + friction shifters; Weinmann 27" wheels + Suntour Perfect freewheel 13-26; Sansin hubs; Taihei seatpost; Adga saddle. 2 x 5 = 10speed.
custom brake lever housing and saddle reconditioning by a good friend of mine.

Campy crank is a contingency solution as i couldn't make the Stronglight 93 setup worked-out on time—maybe some day.
99% done, to be complemented with white bar tape.
not sure if i want to put decals, maybe a subtle Raleigh logo and Carlton? i don't know.

how does it ride? amazing. how does it feel? awesome.
i know it may not please some purist folks' 'period-correct' fundamental spirit, but please don't discourage a newbie who've just become a level II hoarder.

a long 6 month of collecting parts pain aka joy has finally been paid off.
no shame to put some pics and share here. enjoy and thanks for looking.
