hi,
i bought a raliegh esprit racer nearly 3 years ago its been a excellent bike,but it needs upgrading,its got a cotterpin crank which needs upgrading to a cotterless crank is this possible with it being a old bike?(its currenently a 5-speed)the wheels are 27x1/4 steelrims which need replacing,what size wheel could i use as i'm concerned the brakes won't be level with the rim!i thought about 700c rims but not to sure,its a 23"frame its been a reliable bike but i'm in 2 minds to upgrade or buy a newer machine.does anybody know the age of this bike?
