Oh man I'm sure JPBMX is drooling.

Good stuff!
TIM
4 figures indeed! LOL!

What brand non drilled forks are those Mr Diablo? Are those DG bars?

One thing in Tim's photo is out of place. What is it?
BenOr
Bar pad as a frame pad? I think Jeff used a chrome stem, but may have used the Webco stem early (after leaving Webco).

The Agressor on the floor should be front and center!

More smaller things are on the way... His storage unit is a time machine.
TIM
new tubes?

i don't think i have the correct caliper brake yet either. the mark on the bridge is rectangular, almost an inch long, not the typical round mark.

(that IS a frame pad, Ben. and Jeff picked out the stem himself from my stash.)

those are Dan Gurney box bars. they are as close as i'll likely get. Jeff had his chrome race bars custom made for him.

just a pile of parts right now. i'm in the "see what i have/see what i need" stage.

that fork is an original nickel Red Line. Jeff ran them in custom blue finish with DG decals.

I think you're missing a Cal Cup # plate TIM. hehehehehehe........
TIM
well.... you know how to fix THAT, Shannon!

New tubes. We have a winner. That is killer. Is there a Dura Ace crankset to match that clamshell chainwheel? Yeah, I've been cravin' some Dura Aces. Mmmmmmm.
Randy
is that an ashtabula stem with a brace added?
BenOr
Known as a "Webco" stem.... Used by Pedal Cross racers everywhere...

Who got the Raleigh, though? And what was up w/the article saying the brake bridge on that was ugly...looked pretty clean to me.

Tim, I remember in my repair days running across brake bridge washers by dia compe that were rectangular about 1" wide but concave for the brake bridge. I have a local shop that is a small parts saver/junkie. I'll be there today and see if I can find you one. They were made to help keep the bridge from being crushed. Seen them on old Weinmann equipped bikes as well. Could he have run center pull brakes? Those wide rectangular washer/spacers came stock with Dia Compe centerpulls.Dave

Does anyone know if Jeff's Raleigh ever sold or is it available?
BenOr
It has transferred ownership.
