Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

Great progress on this & great to see the attention to detail.
Sincere thanks
The bike is almost finished. I found the brake parts that were missing in a box that had been stored for too long and I was now able to put in all the wiring. I have changed the slightly rusty nuts from not being used! 🤣
I also found a fundamental piece in the early '90s: the anti-suck. It was great, for €1 you avoided damage worth several hundred. Well I have several saved so I'll have to put it in

I have also started with the decoration.
The "Heinch Medium" font modifying the "E" and the "I" is really similar to the original Tecnium.
I was missing on my bike, so I relied on photos from the internet, but the result seems good.
The color is not original, but I think the green I have chosen looks very good with the silver/blue colors. It is the teal or greenish blue of the Candy appliance brand, which recently changed the logos and since I had the file I have taken advantage of the color
I found the Raleigh head badge in silver aluminum. I know that the original was in reddish tones, but I thought it was more sober and went better with the idea of blue/silver colors on this head badge.
Well, I can always change it without too many problems, although I admit that I really like it that way, it makes the bike more "serious".
