Re: Raleigh Team Pro - SB1988
This week's update...
First, the forks. I asked my "SH" question on the Yahoo Team Pro Raleigh forum and elicited the following reply:- 'I have just spoke to Sam Hudson and he told me that when he first started making forks at the Ilkeston factory he did stamp some forks with SH so as not to get mixed up with Peter Cox if the was a problem.' Isn't the Internet a wonderful place, sometimes.
The Ron Cooper script was masked out yellow under the red so it couldn't be easily removed. So after a fine sanding with 400 grade, this week has seen a few light coats of red plus a bit of heavier black and yellow. Then colour sanding with 2000 grit and stickers from Lloyd's.
Clear lacquer next week, or the week after.
(It looks pink in this pic, but isn't. Bad light so poor quality too, I'm afraid.)
