Digging up an old thread. I just picked up a 62cm late seventies Raleigh Team Record (bottom of the barrel) 20-30 steel anchor with vinyl brooks saddle for $20 off CL. When I picked it up I thought it was a joke. It is comically heavy!! I'm hoping to lighten it up as a fixed gear with more modern 27" components (alloy). I'm glad to read how well people think these ride. This bike has very few miles on it. It has the original Raleigh tires, which although shot, look to have no wear in the tread. I'll use it as a fixed gear commuter. Thanks for the reading.
