1947 Raleigh restoration

[MattCook]

Exciting times ahead. I only have one mudguard left to de-rust and then I can start the re-finishing and re-assembly part. Am still looking for a GC3 gear changer from Sturmey Archer though, I narrowly missed out on one from ebay but my fingers are crossed that I can get another one which is on there now.
I'm also looking for someway to accurately paint the pin stripes onto the bike, any ideas? Or someone to do it for me, relatively cheaply.

You can buy ready made self adhesive pin stripes from model shops, they come on a roll in different widths and colours. Think the name might be Pro Trim. I know as I used to run a Hobbystores, they can supply by mail if you can't find one near you.
