Sorry, spent too long on the Raleigh 753 thread.

Just waiting on some clear cable rub protectors and a Tange sticker before I build it up..

Started on the Indy's earlier in the week...

Initially I thought I'd get away with a clean up and new stickers as they were working perfectly... but a big chunk of paint came off when I removed the old stickers :facepalm:


A bit of WhatsApp tutelage from RetroSpud and they were soon stripped and blasted..


Nice new coat of British Standard Off-White and Gils stickers along with cleaned & dressed rubbers and a polished crown and we're done.. time for little Xmas drinky before Strictly.. :xmas-wink:

Early RS fork paint falls off as they were magnesium underneath

Spelling mistakes aside... I did wonder about the paint literally just falling off! Hope the powder coating fairs a little bit better...



Anyhoo... I snuck out to the workshop this afternoon.... just waiting on grips and some cable chaffing protector rubbing clear thingys.... :roll:
