Raleigh Project One

Over the next 5 work days I will be restoring a customers Raleigh Sports. In fair shape with not having a whole lot of use in the past, the bicycle should turn out beautifully. Check back over the next few days as the Raleigh Project One goes back together, and get some tips and views for your next restoration. Here are some Photos of the bicycle:

  1. Scott, good one!
    Is that a B72 saddle? And looks like a Woods valve on the rear tire.
    The S-A shifter looks similar to the one on my Rudge project bike:

    Out of curiosity, do you have a flickr photostream where you post these photos as well?
