THE BIKE

 

This is my bike, it's a Raleigh frame from 1980 (found out on Sheldon Brown.

Wheels: Mavic MA2 laced to Miche Primato Pista Hubs, 16 t
Tyres: Vittoria Zaffiro
Cranks: Shimano 600, 45 t
Pedals: MKS Sylvan Road with MKS toeclips and Christophe Straps
Stem and Handlebar: 3t 90mm, ITM flat bar with Oury Grips
Brake: Weinmann 500 with Snafu C-Lever


I think I need some changes for the trip.
- bullhorn instead of flat bar, to get more riding positions.
- smaller gear ratio, maybe 42 : 16, to make climbs a little easier.
- more comfortable saddle
