|   A Classic frame is born again... | Mr Tiles
Apr 24, 2003 1:33 PM | | I inherited a Raleigh Team frame (circa 1998) from one of my buddies. Needed some minor repairs(stripped non-drive side bb shell) and it layed outside for about two years. Paint is in really good condition despite the weather it endured. Now it lives again with some classic hardware like sram 8-speed x-ray shifters coupled with a circa 96/97 XT derailleur. Feedback/comments welcome... |

Apr 24, 2003 5:00 PM | | what some would consider thread taps. The shop I work at has some really OLD thread chasers that worked like a charm...took me about 10 minutes to fix it. |

Apr 25, 2003 8:45 AM | | Yeah, but it would be hard to come by those for FREE... |
