Evening all, picked up a new (old) racer today to get up and running for the pub bike. Cost £35 for the bike and was as pictured here... It's a 23' Raleigh Record (Year unknown - if anyone can help) Campagnolo levers & front dérailleur Weinmann brakes 27' wheels with knackered tyres 5 speed free-wheel The bike was filthy so today has been spent cleaning up bits and bobs (not too much though - it is a pub bike). Fitted a 700c No-Logo wheel-set i got for a bargain & new brake blocks. (New brake cables and bar tape purchased and to be fitted over the weekend). The free-wheel from the new wheel-set was a 7 speed (5 speed on before) and i was able to adjust the rear dérailleur to select all 7 gears now making it a 14 speed. Quite pleased with the progress so far.

I've ridden a similar bike before and didn't get on at all with the down tube shifters, then I got the triban and very happy with STI shifting.
Looks like a bargain at £35

Looks like a bargain at £35 i rode bikes that one for donkeys (and still have one) and having made the change to the triban i also find the sti a revelation

I always wanted one of these when I was younger. Been watching them on Ebay but as iggypop37 says, they go for a lot more on Ebay.
