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 it shines too much and also the circlip and the bolt, removing the rust. The M6 screw is new, the other one was a mess. I sanded the cover to paint but I liked how it looks in steel and I left it like that, in varnished steel.

Part of the fun for me is restoring these old parts that can be saved and given a new lease of life.

The blue you have chosen is a very nice colour. The blue and silver would look great against some fresh tan wall tyres.
