Classic Raleigh Restoration (now finished)
got a little project going at the moment. my sister wants me to "take a look" at her old bike with the idea of getting it ride-able again. now this bike hasn't moved since she went to school on it when she was 16. Now she's 37, so thats 21 years since this bike last saw sunlight
it's an unmolested Raleigh Panache ladies 5 speed "racer"...
complete with stem mounted gear lever...
and dynamo...
and some interesting engraving on the handle bars...
anyone make sense of this ??...
now this bike has done very few miles in it's life and it looks like new tyres and cables and a good clean and rebuild should get it usable again.
should be fun
