I picked up this beauty last night! Fern is a 70s Raleigh Super Course. She's got the most beautiful lugs, I'll have to get pics of them. about half original components, about half shimano of the same age. I have to get a bit creative to trim the reach a bit- anyone know of short reach drop bars in 25.4 clamps? I found the Nitto 105 (65mm reach), but wasn't sure if maybe there's other options? Current bars are 110mm or so and I'm used to my FSA compacts on my Jamis, which are 80mm.

I will take some close-ups tonight, I promise!
PS- on the bars, I'd consider moustaches maybe, but not sure what reaches and widths those come in? Seem to be a bit bigger. I might eventually go to barcons- we'll have to see how I get on with the downtubers. Haven't had downtube shifters since my 3rd bike- 10sp Ross 70s bike that I had for a few years- maybe when I was 11 or so!Last edited by mayanorange; 04-08-2009 at 05:24 AM.
