Hi group. I believe Renolds rapid taper chainstays were available for a somewhat longer period than the early 70's. Bob Hanson's very interesting photo set shows them clearly. I believe however he is somewhat mistaken in suggesting they were available "for a short time only". I have a 1977 {WK7 series} International which is built using these stays. I don't know if they were offered as an option for all the years in between Bob's and my frames. Perhaps Raleigh found a bunch of leftovers in 1977 and decided to use them up. Anyone with better information out there?
