I have one of the original Raleigh Record Sprints and want to upgrade it. The problem is that I don't know where to begin.
I like the way that modern racing bikes have their brakes and gears integrated into the handlebars. Is it possible to do this on such an old bike?
What is involved and what is the ball park cost.
A bike shop suggested that I would need a new back wheel and gear set as a starting point because the old gears had a non standard threading, whatever that meant.
I should be grateful for any advice you could give.
Thanks
