Re: Raleigh Gran Sport change of direction.

spent a couple of hours on the frame tonight. white spirit, wire wool and t cut in various places to get the old bodged touch-up off and then touching in with white cellulose primer as per instructions. Looks a mess to be honest. Not convinced this will work out.


Was given this little gem today to go with the wheels i have to use until i sort out the originals.



Wheels are those i bought cheap along with TA bottle cages form a workmate.

It's a difficult paint job. Some of the damage and dirt has got under the translucent topcoat but no further so is difficult to clean up.

I can't afford a Bob j paint job now as something else is incoming..........

Very nice. Especially the paint :facepalm: I got the full bike for little more. Somebody should snap that up.
