Hi

[Dave Scrimshaw]

Just found this forum and looking for advise on a frame, see other post. New to cycling late in life having not ridden much since school days. Finished first rebuild this year of 1989 Raleigh Road Ace - Retro. Only had frame to start with so not original by any means. Working on 753 frame now.

Hello. Welcome to the forum . Nice looking bike. You have done a nice rebuild.

Thanks for your comments, any ideas who might be the original builder of the 573 frame or where I can try to find out? I have more details on separate post. Thanks again

Welcome, nice wheels
With regard the other frame, if you've not found out already, you might want to start here..http://www.apibikes.com/

Yes, thanks. Have been there and talked with Andy. Just not everything about the frame is hanging together yet. Sure all will become clear eventually.
