Mr.RED
Finally riding a big boys bike
I am not sure where I got the name for this project but anyhow I figure I share my latest project. I scored this Raleigh Team Record frameset at the Copake bike swap for a $100 and it was my size. Since I hoard bike parts and plus some new parts I was able to put together a slick looking road bike with vintage looks but modern shifting. All that's left is a new chain and swapping out the 6 speed freewheel for a 7 speed freewheel. The bike is hooked up with Shimano Dura Ace derailleurs I believe the 7700 group, Dura Ace crankset 175mm, Shimano Tourney caliper brakes, Nitto stem, FSA adventure handlebars 42cm, promax seat post, Fizik Alante saddle with Ti rails, Brooks microfiber bar tape, 700c Ridga wheels with suntour hubs. My only gripe with the bike is the 175mm crankarms I am use to 170mm so I wonder what the difference of feel will be and also the toe lap. I am gonna swap out the pedals for SPD's so hopefully that will fix the toe lap issue. Anyhow here is what I got so far.
