Narhay's 1975 Raleigh International update
My old thread from purchase to previous iteration was eaten up by photobucket.
Just added Origin8 hammered fenders, pre CPSC nuovo record front derailleur, repacked all bearings after a rainstorm, trimmed cables, dropped a tire size to 28s from 32s and changed the brake levers to Nuovo Record from the original Weinmann.

Nicking the pits, it looks fantastic and keeps getting better. Nice thoughtful changes that you have added, those fenders are the cat's pajamas.

I see you've added a tie to the RD cable housing just behind the " divers helmet" . I did too on my 76 MK IV. Otherwise the housing took a unacceptable kink as it headed back. I got a stepped housing ferrel that fit snug into the divers helmet and accepted the housing (in my case the wound SS housing that was used with the Campy RDs back then). With the stepped ferrel I did not need the zip tie. The housing now makes a graceful sweep as it leaves the divers helmet and heads back. Hunt around for one.

@Narhay This looks fantastic. If I could ask you a favor if you come upon a few free moments would you mind taking a couple of close up photos of where the rear fender is attached to the chainstay bridge? Yours setup looks incredibly perfect. My setup has a bit too much space for my liking at that spot but I am uncertain how to mitigate the issue.

I left a bit of space and the leather washers have a bit of give so taking the rear wheel in and out isnt as difficult. It is sturdy enough as is.

You route your barcon cables roughly as I do, which I claim makes for easier and smoother shifting than taping them all the way up.
That is a gorgeous bike. I hope you can keep the white handlebar tape clean -- the white housings and tape look great with your frame color. I haven't had the nerve to put white tape and brake hoods on the red-and-white 1959 Capo, but I have considered doing it.

Velo Orange sells a spring-loaded fender clip for $5, it supposedly keeps a nice line with the wheel, but moves forward when you need to remove the rear wheel. I haven't actually tried it but am considering getting one (or maybe more).

Well look at that...the spring thing. I actually purchased the P clip from Velo Orange and was trying to figure any way to reach free shipping. I would have picked one of those up had I known it existed.

Narhay, that's a beautiful, and lust-inspiring bicycle. So glad it's a 23-1/2" frame and not a 21-1/2". Spares me from constant jealousy.

Still had those same dreams, thanks for trying though
.
My International was actually the 24-1/2, just a smidge to tall but it was a steal since the LBS was looking to get it off their floor. The 23-1/2 is actually darn near perfect, I had an opportunity to ride one long-long ago.
Not that yours is leaving your tight clinched fists
anytime soon
, at least wilingly.
