"Nice to see another one back on the road and getting some love! Nice set of updgrades - Hope you have plenty of fun with it."

Thanks. I hope to do some commuting and maybe throw it in the car and do a little sightseeing. I rode it a bit yesterday and determined I want bit softer saddle. I'm considering a Brooks B67 or maybe a less expensive Specialized body contour. I have the Specialized on my other bikes and I find them very comfortable.


"Where did you get your wheels built? I'm trying to source some for my project."

Local bike shop where I bought the bike built the wheels. The rims came from online auction and the shop supplied the rest of the parts. The shop is a long time Raleigh dealer and he found a 90mm front hub so I wouldn't have to spread the fork. I want to be able to return the bike to stock should the need arise.
