The orange circles are exactly the same size, the front wheel is technically smaller in the photograph, must have just been the angle I took the pic. I'll get some good ones this weekend:

Look at the distance from each wheel to the closet door. The rear is farther from the door so it appears bigger.

It's been a while and my bike has been through some changes. Sorry all I have is my potato phone's pic. Once the weather gets nice I'll have to go do some real picture taking.

nope that's not the original fork. But I got it along with the frame since the first time I bought the whole frameset from my friend
and it's always rainy everyday here, so gotta get used to the dirts
thanks mate

at first I just want to sell my Raleigh & go for some real horizontal/track dropouts like Kagero or 735 but on second thoughts, I think I'm gonna keep the Raleigh for a bit longer

Got this several weeks ago and had to wait a week for a new fork to replace the defective one that came with the bike. 
Changed out the garbage seatpost and stem with parts from my bin; the seatpost has a built-in tailight. Today I changed out the tires; stock were supposed to be 650x28c, but were only 650x23c. 
The replacements are Terry Tellus TT 650x28c, the only wider tires I could find in 650c. Pretty expensive, but much better than the stock Kendas. The chainguard that came with the bike was broken and didn't fit anyway; the one shown actually came with my Kilo WT and wouldn't fit on that bike but fits this one perfectly. Need to get a bell to finish it off. Weight as shown is 24.4 lbs. The bike is a real hoot to ride.
