Re: 1987 Raleigh Avanti

nothing wrong with all black tyres. Makes the paint and components stand out.

I also have something Raleigh shaped winging its way over in a similar state to yours and will have to go deep, deep deep down...

Nice work, those components are looking like new. Looking forward to seeing the refurbed frameset and new decals.

And my work on the front wheels, nice 105 hubs but the bloody galvanized spokes were the normal amount of fun... :?

Re: 1987 Raleigh Avanti

Well it was going to well I suppose. I started to strip the seat to recover it and found this.....

Something had to go wrong but I guess it could be worse. Perhaps you could recover it anyway for practice and at least get the finished build shots with it fitted, before swapping it for one you can use.

Cracking job you're making so far

Any here is the frame number it's meens absolutely nothing to me but I hope someone can shed some light on it.

Cheers.
