I upgraded my old 1987 Raleigh Technium 440 to 700C and 10 sp 2 years ago. The old Araya wheels, stem shifter and brakes were worthless. This bike wouldn't stop. Thanks Ben at Velomine! Some new Tektro brakes with more reach, Tiagra 4600 and she is way better to ride than ever. Went from 27 x 1 1/4" to 700C x 32mm. Mainly used for bad weather and gravel trail rides. I never had trouble finding tires for it previously, used it quite a bit on the trainer too.
