Oval logo user stem, 110 or (better yet) a 115, for my "new" '75 Raleigh Pro. (Measured C-C along ctr of extension)
13-15-17-20-24t (or -23t also considered) also user condition, with good teeth for relatively severe, hilly use on my Masi. Must be English or Italian threaded, not French.
The Raleigh I posted of, the '75 Pro with the sickly chrome, has prompted fellow riders to ask if I bought it "like that" of if I had it repainted. Hours spent mixing metallic silver, blue and white paints, and applied using just a toothpick, have left the frame looking nearly flawless. Fixing the "Professional" script was almost fun and really effective. The "chrome" will be fine with some upkeep. The 175mm Zeus crank went to a list member, bringing my total cost now down to $50. A couple of long Saturday training rides has uncovered just the need for a longer stem and some additional work on the front NR shifting setup (derailer binds). Shifting at the rear, with NR der and 6s Uniglide became 100% butter-like with the fitment of an off-topic (current) IRD Pro Silver 8-speed chain. Unbelievably quiet and positive shifting, with a polished/rounded sideplate appearance like Campy C9, making chain wipedown a quicker, more visually rewarding practise.
I'm still looking for a suitable metallic gold paint for the striping.
