Raleigh 531




My first race bike(!), maybe built up in 1983 or 84, used to tri quite competently and race modestly on this old "nail"; actually raced against young Master L. Armstrong kcab in 1987 and 1988 when his mom brought him up from Austin for the HillCrest Hospital sponsored (I think) Tulsa Triathlon

He won OA both years, I won my age group in 1988


Originally (Mid Nite Blue) set up with all Sun Tour Superbe, now sports a Color Factory paint job and Kinesis Al fork w/ Sante RD/FD/SL and old 600EX cranks


Mavic RD 500 hubs and Sun ME14A, 28x f and 32x r, Pasela TG 700x28

I still ride it some
