After hunting about with no luck for a replacement fork on eBay and Bikeforums, I finally coughed up the coin for a new Pyramid aftermarket fork (that fits in very well) to take place of the damaged original from the '85 Super Course.

The Cinelli bar and stem from the Trek 728 found themselves onto the Raleigh as well. The original Dia-Compe G300C brake levers were placed on the Cinelli bars, and a trip to one of the LBS yielded a pair of NOS, Dia-Compe compatible, A'ME aero hoods with a mustard/gum color to them.

Seatpost came from the parts box, and is entirely too long for this bike (about 1'7" long or so), but it fits. The Wrights saddle is from a trade with fellow forum member John Barry, a.k.a. USAZorro.

Still have to get a new chain, re-true the rear wheel (and replace 3 spokes), run the brake cables, and tape the bars. I'm seriously considering swapping out the garbage Shimano Golden Arrow friction shifters with Shimano Light Actions - except for the fact that I only have a left-hand Light Action lever - the right hand one broke immidiately upon attempted installment on an earlier project.

Might also get rid of the Golden Arrow components altogether - they have a general cheap look to them. Will probably replace with Suntour, although I don't know what Suntour derailers I'd mount - I don't have any, and there are no decent local sources with them.

Take care,
