    I understand that the kitchen in question has since been sold to finance said bike. They use a mini fridge and an msr camping stove! Probably worth it though.

    Oh and you could put it on the cycling adverts section here or adverts.ie...or donedeal.ie (if you're brave)

    If you want less reach, just use a shorter stem and move the saddle forward.

    As you get fitter (if you're doing it right) you should find your reach improves due to improved back flexibility.

    I have the same problem with a Ridley.
    I recently got a bike fit and he put the smallest stem on it, still not perfect.
    He said different brands are known to have longer top tubes even though they say they are the same size, e.g. 54 or 56.
    Apparently Ridleys are suitable for people with a longer upper body and not so long legs, I'm the opposite - long legs and smaller upper body that is sort of out of proportion.
    So I'm left with the same problem as yourself, not so bad now after the fit.
    If I had put as much effort into reading about bikes before I got it as I do now I would have known the bike wasn't suitable.

    Hi Rob,

    Sorry, was that request from Homer for me or Mr. Merkxx?!!

    If it's for me I'm not yet sure. Okay if I keep your kind request in mind?

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,560 ✭✭✭The tax man


    Raleigh Road Ace
    Born 1983
    Frame: 531c
    Groupset: Shimano 600ax Aero
    Rims: Mavic GP4

    I raced on one of these back in the 80's and ever since the day I sold mine I've wanted one again.Could never find a good enough frame to start an expensive build project.Then along came a complete original bike in fantastic
    condition for it's age. Haven't done anything to it yet.All it needs is new tape on the bars and a Raleigh decal.One of the hoods has dried and cracked but these can't be got.It has spent over 20yrs in an attic. Cost me £200

    Something familiar with that photo Tax man.

    Is that not Raam's kitchen?
