1980 Raleigh ‘Denim’ Eighteen

[Survivor Bikes]

Managed to get an hour in after my appointment. Both wheels done, at long last

This little bike saw a lot of service, judging by the state of the original pedals

Inching towards the completion of this project..

We also snapped a Raleigh Shopper/Stowaway/Twenty bike by putting enormous handlebars on and using it as a BMX. Lasted...er...days.

Sometimes, you just have to let old fasteners go to that big nut and screw box in the sky...

I agree, it’s unrealistic to expect everything to be refurbished

Hello people. I still have to restore and refit a heron head badge; but, in every other respect... finished.

Test ridden by the government authorised truant.

Before.

After.

I’m currently trialing some advanced prosthetics with powered ankles, exciting; hence all the time away from the workshop, for appointments.

As a result the next project will be on a slightly smaller scale. Look out for a new tutorial thread regarding restomodification of vintage bicycle lighting.

Thanks again to everyone for their feedback and positivity. Take care, and keep riding on.
