I've got these 2 frame and fork sets, but can't decide which one to build up. I really only have the parts and 700c wheel set to build up one decent bike. Most of them are currently on the Ross, but I'm thinking about maybe transferring them to the Raleigh... Both frames are a bit bigger than I usually ride, and in about the same condition. Both are originally 6 speed. I do prefer the colors on the Raleigh though. Here are some specs for each frame, and a couple of pics for reference. (Pic of Raleigh is in "as found" condition.) Just curious which one would you choose, and why?
'86 Raleigh Marathon:
575sl triple butted chrome moly main frame
25" seat tube
22.5" top tube
stamped dropouts with no RD hanger
'87 Ross Centaur:
Straight gauge chrome moly frame
25" seat tube
23" top tube
Forged dropouts with RD hanger
Indexed downtube shifters
