"Vintage" Cyclocross bike build


Moved back to Sacramento, got a job 3 miles from my house and thought I'd get a bike that I could ride to work that would double as a cross bike if I decide to do a few races this year.

I want to call it my "vintage cx bike" but "ghetto cx bike" probably explains my budget a little better.

Got it off of Craigslist for $60, needs new tires, and I'll probably paint it too cause I always like that.

It's a 1976 Raleigh Grand Prix. Pictures shortly.

Welcome back to Sac! That should do fine for our dry races here although you may want some barcons for it. Downtube shifters could get dicey in certain situations.

Thanks, yeah barcons are on my list of upgrades.
