I had some time to inspect the bike and what a disaster! I now know why it was being thrown out. I must have been so excited that the bike was left out that I didn't notice it. Might get my friend to bodge weld it because the colour and decals are soo cute. Everything that came off the bike...

Gorgeous build! Nothing to pick on it's perfect

Hey! Today I spotted a Pathfinder in baby blue left for the scrappers by somebodies gate today and had to have it! Exactly like in the picture except that it's missing the front wheel and the saddle/seatpost? Everything else except the grips are original and I love the colours and stickers...

I think bringing it back to ridable condition whilst keeping it original is the best idea!

Re: 1994/5 FAT CHANCE Team Yo Eddy Never heard of this bike before, love the new colour scheme - looks excellent!

Right, photos taken with my phone so not the best but will give you an idea. The bike is filthy as it's used everyday in any weather. I'm a brave boy :mrgreen: Updates since the first post are: -Front wheel: Deore LX Parallax 100 hub laced onto a Mavic 238 rim with stainless spokes. -Control...

After a long break/being away/not doing anything to my bike I did do a little overhaul a few days ago. New bits include: Deore LX rear mech, it came with the spring on wrong? However, I've no idea how to put in on right. Any tricks?? Answer Taperlite 2 handlebar, really tidy except rubbed off...

Re: Raleigh Maverick 18 Pro Love the colour scheme! Looks great already with vintage and modern combined. waiting to see it complete!

Re: It looked sooo sad at first! Well done for taking it on, best of luck

What a bloody steal!! Any big plans for it or just want to bring it up to a usable condition?

What a transformation! Look very BMX-ish on the last shot. I like the new colour but the decals look a bit too new to me? :P

Re: Re: Don't worry I didn't go too mad, the paint on the frame is very tatty so the only thing that will really sort it is a full re-spray. Edit: Photos added

Re: Re: Thank you! Yep, I do all the work on it with tips from my mate who worked as a cycle mechanic for longer than I have myself! I've done some work on the bike since my last post. -Fitted more comfortable handlebars off of a Giant Sedona, -Different quick release at the back as the...

Thanks for your replies, and yeah of course I know it's not a great spec bike but actually as it is currently set up is super comfortable to ride and gets me places. I can't afford buses or to take my driving test (not mentioning insurance at 19) so this is what gets me everywhere. It is a mix...

Really like that colour scheme! What a classic, wish i had the budget.

Re: 1987 Raleigh Team Panasonic Love the colours, give it a good service and enjoy! If I could I'd change the rear mech though - doesn't look right!

Thanks for your reply! I knew the saddle and bar tape is not original, understandable as they both wear out quick. Anything else seems right, though I found it odd with the wheels with one hub being un-branded and one Maillard. So the stamping on the Maillard hub does not mean it's date of...

Great restoration, inspires me to make mine as good! Can I use any metal polish (eg from halfords) to polish up parts on my bike or is there anything more specific? I never polished anything in my life! (I'm 19 ;) )

So beautiful! Loving the original look.
