My Raleigh Team is just a bit too small.
A conventional vintage Campy post is too short to do the job, which isn't usually a big issue. This Reynolds 753 frame requires a 27.4mm seat post, so it's a bit more work to find a long one in that size. Fortunately, American Classic was still making their light, long, and affordable post in 27.4mm at the time that I got the frame.
Nothing else unusual about the set-up.
The bars are lower than I generally prefer, but I do notice that it gets me into a more aero position. This is appreciated on these windy spring days.
