i need a faster bike

i wanted a faster bike for commuting among competitive traffic scenarios and to go for sporty rides on. i got this 90s raleigh gemini xc from velow bike works to build up in a gravel / touring style to be used as a comfortable cafe racer for blasting about on the cobble streets of edinburgh. i restored the frame using powder coat and built it up with a mix of new and old components. it's so fun to ride
