Doc knows at least one of the reasons I'll bring this to the Dare. Anyhow, it fits, is geared right, and I'll plod through on it....
1985 Raleigh Competition, Racing USA Series. Reynolds 555 frame and fork. Shimano 6500 Crankset, FD, RD, BB, calipers, and cassette. 52/42/30 pulling on 11-28. Selection by DA 7700 downtube shifters and Modolo composite aero levers grab the stoppers. 3TTT stem, Performance bar, SR post and Prologo Scratch Pro (flat ass) saddle. Wheels are DA 7400's laced to Aeroheads, and the Veloflex Masters. 700x23 are the largest this little bike will run. So be it.
No noise.
Past Dare rides:
1985 Cinelli Equipe Centurion. 53/39 and 12-24.
1987 D'Arienzo SLX (Basso). Centaur compact Ergo.
1988 Centurion Ironman Master with Mirage 2x8 Ergo.
1988 Centurion Ironman Master with Dura Ace 2x9 STI.
I rode Bartali on an '86 DeRosa Professional, and felt inferior....
I may have to get an Eye-Tal for Coppi.....
