I have this Raleigh Super Course hanging in my basement, a 1977. I am thinking strip off what parts that are on it and have it resprayed in black with red lug lining. I also have a nice set of Dia-comp brakes and levers in black that will go real well with this color scheme.
I recently came into a real nice Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset. It does not have a headset.
I think the headset on the Raleigh is brinelled and I would like to get a 600 Arabesque headset to match the group and I do not know what the inner diameter is of the head tube is, can anyone help me with this info?
Other ideas to continue this is a black Brooks pro, Red cable housings, black bar tape, Maybe have the big ring black anodized and the small ring red anodized, fill in the Arabesque engravings with either Red or black. I have a set of Randonneur bars from a Schwinn ?? and not sure what stem, probably a GB 90mm. Not sure what wheels, 700c, and tires but I have a real nice 7 speed freewheel from PastorBobnh.
