Another example of cheap made good

I am always on the lookout for cheap frames to tinker with. A good example is this Raleigh Capri, which originally had a bent fork. I found a nice chrome fork that was the right size and built it using my preferred components, including some Campy stuff I had sitting in my boxes of parts. As always putting on good wheels is the best improvement one can make, so this bike is an enjoyable ride (despite the Gatorskins, which are not the most comfy tire around.)
