Like I said in the title looking for Black Drop Bars, Silver Quill Stem, Black Chainset and Clip Pedals!

Do you have any idea what bottom bracket type of bottom bracket to look for not brand ect. just 'British' or '115mm' ect.?

Tapes available for £10

The plan was to run these current components and upgrade as I go along! More of a steady upgrade rather than a complete build all at once!

I will be using the bike for my only mode of transport apart from bus' as I can't drive. This means biking to and from the gym everyday which is 2/3 miles, biking to my girlfriend once or twice a week which is a 10 mile ride one way and also just for cardio. The parts on the bike are okay but are very aged and I'd like to upgrade the majority of them for aesthetic and performance reasons. I think the stem will be my first purchase as well as some drop bars. BLB have some drop bars in white for £10 down from £30 which I was thinking of buying and painting black myself to save £20.

Forgot to mention since then I have also removed the brake cable holders and hangers. I was planning on running brakes but wanted to make the frame as clean as possible so I've drilled the frame to run internal brake routing. Just need to sand and strip the rest of the paint off!

So about 3 weeks ago I was given an old Raleigh bike it was already running as a single speed so I thought I would start a project. Since then I have stripped most of the paint from the frame, bars and stem (in need of more stripper for the lugs). I am planning on replacing most of the components, bars, stem, wheels, seat, chain and cranks. I'm a student so I'm on a tight budget. Was given some Shimano callipers and have got a Primo single bolt lever that I'm going to re-use from an old BMX. I've been looking around but does anyone have any recommendations for a good value stem, wheelset and cranks. Im looking for a deep V wheelset preferably. Thanks guys!
