I have two Raleigh Competiton frames. One is a late seventies one, a GS that came to me as a partial from Ebay. The other was also from Ebay, a complete bike with a later (probably not English) frame. This is the one with the cable guides brazed on and with the mounting for a water bottle.
This complete bike had an unknown brand bottom bracket with Campy NR cranks circa 1984. The problem is that the small chainring hits the chainstay when the crank bolts are tightened. There is no dimple in the chainstay. There is on the English frame, though. I switched the Campy bottom bracket to the newer frame, thinking it might be better than the other bottom bracket but the problem remains the same.
Is there any way to use that NR crankset on the non-English Raleigh frame or am I just wasting my time. Once the other frame is painted, I had planned to move the Campy stuff to it and build this non-English frame with components from another bike.
Help!?
Thanks!!
