This was a cool find. An almost perfect condition frame in my exact size.
Sourcing all the components was a project as almost all the measurements were pretty unusual and required calipers or digging into ancient Raleigh sales magazines for specs.
It rides amazing well for a 40 year old steel frame. The geometry is super aggressive. It makes my caad12 seem like an endurance bike.
Someday I might convert it back to a road bike and track down period correct shifters, brakes, etc…
