This, I knew was going to take the longest amount of time and the most searching. As the frame I was looking for was so specific, I had to rely on one becoming available second-hand, in the right size and at the right price! Still, where is the fun without the thrill of the hunt! Also, until I had found the right starting point I didn’t know what components would be re-usable, and which I would need to replace.
After a few months of looking I finally found and bought a secondhand Raleigh, which appears to be based on that which the late Laurent Fignon won the Milan San Remo on, in the 1989 Giro d’Italia, so not a bad starting point for the project then!
