    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    The decoration is missing...it's not going to be easy, I barely had any stickers to take a good photo and be able to draw it. Also I can't find the exact Raleigh decals either, all I see are different fonts. For simplicity I think I will adapt some font, for example the "technium" could work...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    I have something saved there. I would like a pair of Hutchinson Rock 'X' Country because it has a rolling design and I think it goes with the philosophy of the bicycle. I also really liked it when it rolled, although it gave some scares. But I only have one in that color and it's also 2'1. Well...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    Honestly, it is being gratifying and I was surprised by the quality of construction and materials. I didn't expect that aluminum to be so strong and durable. But from the anodizing, the painting, the polyester varnish, etc. you see that it was a very well built frame. Also, it's not every day...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    Thank you very much for the encouragement. This weekend I have a family celebration, so I don't think I can make much progress. In any case, I need some cranks because I was thinking of putting some Ritchey Logic that I have but they don't quite convince me, I would like to pay tribute to the DX...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    While they were painting I decided to stick to my idea of restoring as many pieces as possible instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. The rear derailleur was very scratched but works well, very well. So I polished it matte. The stem had many rusty parts. I polished the pulley (now...

    Well, on Thursday they painted it and on Friday they varnished it completely. I picked it up today I am very happy Removing the black and whiteheads makes you lose that 90s madness but it is more serious. Much more serious. I like The stem is the original, and since I had leftover paint I...

    Unkwown Frame, help needed !

    Well, having said the above, I think the frame must be before '90. And here comes something curious: the rear drop outs. They are very vertical and without rack threads, something unusual in those years even in the high range. They look like road bikes from those years There is another detail...

    Unkwown Frame, help needed !

    Curious and beautiful painting Welding with fittings was actually a "joint" where the steel tubes were inserted into the fittings and brass (or silver in very thin tubes such as Reynolds 753) was applied. On road bicycles the system worked very well, but on MTBs it proved insufficient and that...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    Thanks for your support The truth is that I'm excited to rebuild parts for this bike, such as the head set, a Ritchey that I had forgotten about because it was in poor condition. In the end I started working on it and I think it turned out very well. I have already gotten the parts it was...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    The frame has been ready for painting after sanding all the steel well to remove the black layers of the material. The polished aluminum has been conveniently covered as have the threads. 2 weeks ago I formulated the paint and took it to the painter. It's beautiful!!! It is so pretty that I...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    In the end the frame had too many scratches. Not only was the paint bad, the aluminum was also very scratched, possibly from having attached a chain with a padlock or to tie it in daily use. So I have decided to strip and sand the steel and polish the aluminum. It was a lot of work, the aluminum...

    meanwhile, in Madrid....

    Well, the article is more of an "advertisement". He comments that until 1990 Otero only made handmade frames like the one with which Giovaneti won a cycling tour of Spain, and that now he "manufactured" a range imported from Taiwan. Then they comment on the models with their components...little...

    meanwhile, in Madrid....

    If you go through Casa de Campo, I would recommend that you go to Monte del Pardo. It is very close (approximately 2 km from the Casa de Campo) and it is another story. The Monte del Pardo reaches Colmenar Viejo, 50 km from Madrid and beyond Eye! It has very technical areas, but also a lot of...

    I'm glad to see that the bike I voted for won...I guess that means I'm a person with good taste.

    Santana Moda - finished

    In my opinion, they are good changes. The Hyperlite is a guarantee of success and the XT pedals are elegant, simple, good, light... Shimano achieved success with those pedals. I'm not very into Shimano and I love them, JjjjOverall, good choice of components

    Don't delay in doing it, the quota is close to closing and it deserves to be among so many beautiful bicycles that there are this month P.S. If it helps with the climbs, maybe you should consider selling it to me. I need a lot of help in those situations 🤣 🤣
