great bike ... nice job!! just note that the closed end of the spring clip on the master link should be mounted forward, ie the forward direction of the chain
Good to see. I've just acquired a later version from the recycling yard. It has the derailleur gears with the gear change lever on the handle bar mounting post. It also has full metal fenders, which I like, and is painted the usual Raleigh metallic brown with white on the taillight area. It didn't come with a chain guard , although I could take one from my parts bike. Instead there's a metal ring between the gear wheel and the pedals. If I strip the paint to repaint it, where do I get the new decals and the correct shade of paint?
A reason I never buy restored things is that this bike would have been built with 25 or 26 x 2 loose 5/32" balls in those head set races. Otherwise a nice vid.
