I don't need a bunch of internet "experts" to tell me that covering my bonce is a good idea.

Can you not date the bike off the SW hub? Doesn't it have the year of manufacture on the case? edit: Sorry missed that last sentence.

Whilst restoring my 1946 Raleigh Lenton Sports I couldn't find this artwork anywhere and ended up having to make it up myself. It's based on what little remained of it on my frame and a couple of photos I found on the internet. I'm putting it online to save other people the hassle. I found that...

Yeah I've probably come off a bit negative but I did enjoy myself, just not as much as last time. I don't really mind the whole "lifestyle" thing either as long as the bikes are the main thing (as they were). Tbh if it was just a bunch of bikes nerds stood around talking about their bikes it...

I've never been to a festival that lets you park by the tent. I agree on the rest though, much more commercialised this year, a bit too big. And we had to queue in Tideswell for an hour to get our food. The whole experience just wasn't as enjoyable as 2015. I'll probably keep going but only...

I hope you're all bringing tools so you can fix my bike.

Unfortunately I also need transparency (and I don't own a printer). Anymore suggestions anybody?

Re: Current state of my bike as of a few hours ago. That's primer and it's still drying.

Got the paints (although they weren't particularly friendly). No response from Del. Anybody know anyone else?

That's what I've done. It's 26 x 1-1/4 AND 40h so the chances of me find one before Eroica are a million to one. Had a look around online and there's just nothing. As a precaution, is there any risk if you leave it in too long? I had a stem turn green once with another product.

This is making me nervous. My bike is a rusty pile of pieces right now. I'm frantically trying to fix it up in time.

Great. Anybody know if 26x1-1/4 and 26x1-3/8 rims are the same?

I was just about to start a similar post. Wondering what I can do about this rim? Replace or repair. It was originally chromed but most of the chrome is gone.

Hi guys I've got a frame with very little original paint on it (just the back of the head badge). Anybody know a good place in London to match it up? A place in the Sheffield/Chesterfield area would also suffice. I'm also in need of a place to print out a decal I've got on my computer...

Just removed the grease nipple from my '47 Raleigh Lenton Sports. It was seized and got quite chewed up in the process so needs replacing. Anybody have a spare or know where I can get one? Will post a photo asap of the mangled one.

Re: Mine was definitely green and not orange. It's way beyond polishing though, practically all of the paint layer is gone.

FYI the bike isn't really going in a hedge, I was just poking fun at the harsh comment. I was going to get it powder coated but will speak to this Mario Vaz chap as I'm still open to ideas. I just moved to London which makes it more convenient. I need to email H Lloyd as they don't seem to...

Re: Well after Keith's comment maybe I should just throw it in a hedge. Then go and kill myself.

Absolute jackpot there Big Block. I think mine is the green one in the first set of photos which it describes as built 46-47 and has the same decals as mine as well as the same green. Think I'll message the writer, see if he has any photos from the other side. Midlife: maybe the US was the...
