Sweet bike. What's the plan for the build up?
Nothing especially groundshaking. Hoping to go with Nuovo Record or Super Record components or even C-Record. Might concede to age with an ultra 6 freewheel with a few more teeth than 20 year old me would have considered.
I also have a 1977 Raleigh Team Pro (with evidently 753 tubing) and a 2000 Bob Jackson Arrowhead made of 853, so this sort of makes three bikes that are very nicely built with a relatively similar purpose. That said, those other two both have 2 x 9 brifter shifting. Honestly, I can't claim to be a huge fan of downtube shifting, but I can adapt. I honestly don't see myself attempting to adapt this to an alternate purpose, even though the geometry could possibly work out. Definitely open to p-clamps that are nicer than the rubber ensconced ones that Home Depot carries for other projects.
psst... interested in a 57cm 1959 Viking, Severn Valley? lol
