Wow - She looks absolutely stunning! :shock:

I look forward to seeing her at L'eroica - I should be there on my similar, (but very unrestored) Gran Course.

Be great if we could get all the Raleigh Panasonics together and re-create a team photo

Stunning, I love build threads like this... happy I came back to Retrobike although my bank account may not like it so much

Not a whole lot to report, still waiting on wheels as I was to busy with work to drop them at the lbs. Should be back tomorrow.

In the mean time on the back of a suggestion from MrW I went on the hunt for an original of these decals .......... found one and put it on.
