Hi Guys and Girls
Picked the bike up in 2017 from Nottingham and researched what it should look like (a lot)
Kept the design scheme but changed the colours to lift it; Re paint / chromed everywhere, Spent loads but wow it is beautiful now
Campag Nuovo record with a brooks professional saddle from 1977
Nice stem with GB bars / got some old new stock bar tape to finish
25mm Tubs on fiamme rims / Normandy hubs
"One for the wall"
See start to finish Raleigh Professional
Enjoy

Thank you for the kind words fellas
Picked up a nice silver fillet brazed tack frame from Racer Rosa
Very new for me but fancied doing a flip flop type
Nightmare with alloy headset in steel, they are so difficult to fit without damaging them and always seem to cut their own new thread
Hunting for parts at the moment
Regards

I will enjoy seeing your Racer Rosa; I take it that it was tailored for you. Cheers Jim
