Raleigh SPD 531 1994 Restomod

Maz once cracked up her mates in the pub by describing me as "Fit from the waist down", I'm not that tall (just under 6') but have very long legs (34" jeans) but even when I was over 16 stone It was all (beer) gut. My B17 is too wide for me but the B17n, B5n, Swift and Swallow fit me nicely.

5' 10" and 32" inside leg. I'm basically six foot, but compressed around the middle.

That's my excuse...

Just found this thread, great read, really enjoyed the detail. I have done similar to you with a couple of bikes, veloce suits the bike perfectly and I also used nitto stems and handlebars. Planet x suprisingly sell them cheaper than most places. Deda also make a really nice silver seatpost as well as a handlebar if it has to be Italian. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to document and share the bike. I'm sure it will be the 1st of many.
