I have been babysitting this '85 Raleigh for a buddy while he contemplates selling it. Fun ride. I've totally overhauled the bike and it runs smooth as silk.
So, here's a retro ride for your tomatoes and/or admiration ;) http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=287411 Looks like it would fit me. What size is that? |

Quite Hot !!
Looks like it would fit me. What size is that? It's a tad small for me, but I can still ride it. It's an interesting mix of components. Ofmega Mistral crank, C-record f&r derailleurs with synchro II shifters, C-Record hubs with Campy Omega Strada rims, and AGC brakes. I went through it and re-built everything, and put jagwire cables, housings and brake pads on it. Smooth bike for sure. |

The black and white can get old and bland after a while but I just couldn't find myself liking the green and blue. I see what you were trying to do with the color combo's, but I personally ont think it works well. The blue bar tape and cage has to go (respectively IMO of course). I would go with white bar tape if you are going to keep the white saddle. Those aren't rival brake calipers are they? I think black brake calipers would look better. The green "k" series SLK crankset might go nicely with that.
OBVIOUSLY, all and any suggestions on what to buy or replace your items with to make it hot are based on my personal opinions and what your financial ability to spend extra money on your bike. I for one cant go out to buy "Hot" accessories to add to my bike just because someone suggests it. There has only been 1 supersix in the green and blue combo I have seen that REALLY blows me away...(Yes I know it is a different year supersix with a little bit different design color wise) http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...E_50031C74.jpg |

I've got most of the bikes in this thread in a dropbox folder that I use as the source for the screen saver on all of my Macs. This one is is going right in there with the rest.
I love the gumwall look, too bad on two rides with the Vittoria tires I flatted three times. Now the Vittoria's are relegated to racing only. |

Wow, your bike is HAWT! Making me want to get one like badly! What year is yours? I'm looking at the 2012 EVO that appears to have more green & white than this one. Bet she rides nice!

That's not mine. I wish it were though. When I was looking into supersixes I came across this one and kept coming back to it. Still the hottest supersix IMO that I have ever seen. I was only posting it because I was saying that even though this particular SS is Hot, it is one of the only blue and green SS that I have liked at all.

Cheers for the kind words, the tyres are Veloflex Master 23 Clinchers.
When Vittoria decided to move production from Italy to the far east, some of the (ex) Italian employees decided to set up a new factory, they are indeed hand made in Italy :) |
