Reason: I like to have a short bottom bracket spindle - too long and my right knee complains. The NH has a Raleigh BB, and after a lot of thought I've decided that it is impossible to modify the frame to my requirements.
Two points come from this:
If anyone would like the remains of the NH they are available free.
I would still like to buy a 21 or 22" roadster frame (i.e. for rod brakes and westwood rims), possibly a complete machine. No Raleighs, obviously.
I have abandoned the New Hudson frame.
