Finally riding a big boys bike
My 1975 Raleigh Super Tourer has braze-ons under the top tube that are spaced for a 16.5 inch (420 mm) alloy pump (compressed), I have searched high and low for a zefal competition as spec'd in the 1975 catalog (along with the esge fenders which I think I have gived up finding) to restore this machine back to original configuration, any suggests on a source I might have missed? There is a possible solution on the bay (Tornado NOS) and have reached out to the seller in Germany but I think its 420 un-compressed and will end up not fitting securely, here's a pic of the ride, I have reached out to Yellow Jersey but I think the ones they may have had in stock were too short anyways, just waiting for the installation of the SKS black chromoplastics that I think will give it a nice look, Todd
BYT, for those looking for one of these, there was one on the SF CL up until last night and its still up on JLA for $225, very hard to find one of these that wasn't stripped of the fenders and drops installed back in the 1970s, for those that want one and are willing to do a little work, the mid-1970s Competition is the exact same frame right down to the sloping crown and braze-ons for fender installation, only the pump braze-ons aren't there, maybe thats a good thing, Todd
