Raleigh Randonneur ST 531 refurb project

[bagpuss]

Recently aquired a Raleigh Randonneur built with reynolds st 531.
It is going to be my next touring machine. Rebuild to happen at the back end of this year.
Frame away for a repaint . Finish will be "plum"
Picture of it stripped down and components check and clean.

Very Classy Good to see they stuck the downtube decals in the right place.

That is looking like a really nice colour. Wasn't sure what to imagine when you said plum but that has come back looking great.
Should build up nice.
