OK, so I'm gonna try one of those "free" pix hosting places, let's see if it works...
This is a 1977 Raleigh Super Grand Prix, all original, except for the Hutchinson "EXCEL" tyres and Sugino crank to replace the 160mm crank arms...Oh, it has a Brooks B-17 saddle now, too.

2. Very nice
(mine)

Are you still using 160mm cranks? I can't imagine having to spin that much when pedaling.

3. No, I changed it to 170mm.
I keep in the 85-100 RPM range.
And MAJOR drool on YOUR bike!
One of these days (soon) I'll have a carbon bike.

Dubya paid $3100 for his. I'll bet you haven't taken a head over heels tumble on it though.

6. No, $14.99
And a few bucks for cables, and $9 for bar tape, and tyres and tubes, and $80 for the saddle, and $40 for the pedals....
