Fenders and fit not perfect yet, but it rode real nicely this morning. When new this was an entry-level race bike, with tubulars and all. The Competition had French components, room for fenders and 35mm tires, and looked more like a 1960s bike. It harks back to the days of when racers would ride to the course and take off the fenders, lights, and bags for the race then put them back on the for the ride home. I've set it up for commutes, brevets, and light touring. The bike retains its nice Huret Jubilee derailleurs but the TA racing crankset was replaced with a Ritchey Logic compact. Suntour barcon shifters are not original but period-correct. The wheelset is from the mid 80s but it's still traditional. I don't really like most old brake levers and calipers, so I replaced them with good modern ones. Bars and stem are new as well. 52cm Raleigh Competition, made by Carlton in Worksop, England Reynolds 531 butted main tubes, CrMo stays Reynolds 531 fork Capella lugs Stronglight A9 sealed-bearing headset Ritchey Logic 50/34 compact crankset Shimano UN54 bottom bracket, 110mm spindle Huret Jubilee front and rear derailleurs Suntour Barcon bar-end shifters Shimano R600 brake levers Tektro R556 brake calipers Nitto Noodle 42cm bars, Toshi leather bar tape Nitto Technomic Deluxe 80mm stem Mavic MA2 rims 32 DT Swiss straight-gauge spokes, laced 3x Suntour Superbe Pro hubs Suntour Winner Pro 7-speed freewheel Shimano Dura Ace 7700 chain Panaracer Pasela TG 700C x 28mm tires Brooks B17 Champion Special American Classic seatpost 27.0mm Velo Orange anodized 45mm fenders Time ATAC Carbon pedals Carradice Barley saddlebag with SQR quick-release

Dodge Charger SRT8, with its 425 horsepower (420 lb-ft) 6.1 liter Hemi (Dodge Charger SRT8 test drive), does 0-60 in five seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16s, and 60-0 braking in about 110 feet. It uses retuned dampers, spring rates, bushings, and anti-sway bars, a half-inch lower ride height, a retuned stability program, and 20 inch wheels with Goodyear Supercar F1 three-season tires (245/45/20 in the front, and 255/45/20 in the rear). The Charger SRT8 also has Brembo calipers and vented rotors (360 x 32mm discs up front, with 350 x 26mm in the rear). Styling changes include revised that cool the brakes and reduce lift, a hood scoop, a spoiler, and an SRT badge in the blacked-out grille; it's sold in silver, black, and red. The interior has grippy seats, a special steering wheel trim, dark-faced gauges, and an LED display for oil temperature or pressure and tire pressure. The differential and axles have also been upgraded.
