Raleigh Activator I / II appreciation thread

Got my Activator 1 to a ride-able state now, found a seat post with seat on one of the other scrap bikes at work that were beyond the effort I could be bothered with.

Chains a bit clunky/slippy but that may be down to the links still working out being s bit seized from rust, me over oiling it or not having it fully in a gear.

Just need to replace the tubes and tyres on the Ascender next and figure out where the front brake cables gone wrong and fix that then I can focus on the Richmond Freespirit (not freestyle as I called it on a previous post).
 
I just sold my Whyte Hybrid eBike which I was using to commute to Fulham from Watford... Now I've moved jobs I only cycle 1 mile. Picked this up, the exact same colour and size that I had as a 14 year old. It's heavy, badly made, the geometry is awful and I absolutely love it lol
