yep its a tub. In fairness to the budget aim, it was £130 posted including tyre. not a bad price. whole bike is still under £400.
I may try and make a disc wheel from some thin polycarbonate sheet or something, but only if i can achieve something which looks decent and has any chance of being at all aero!

yeah definitely. In fact I just got a too good to refuse deal on a planet x 82mm front wheel! this is becoming 'not so budget TT build' I figure those wheels hold their value reasonably well though.
The frame is surprisingly stiff, I think it is 531, but don't really know. its got fancy lugs. I cant identify it because the new BB shell means it has no serial number. if any Raleigh expert thinks they know what it is then let me know.

Now running a bigger gear, 50t chainring and 13 or 14 on the back depending on the course/my legs. Also got some new forks, and fiddled with the position a bit. its pretty addictive this thing and I imagine the cheap and cheerful mantra is going to end up being blown out of the window in search of extra speed!

Right, I haven't got any more of these yet, and the list is pretty long, so to anybody reading this after my post, I'm afraid its not worth adding yourself to it. Those already on the list will get a PM if and when i have any, I will start from the top of the list and work down so i'm sorry if your at the bottom and don't get any.
If i have a load available at a later date then i will post up.
Cheers,
