I picked this up yesterday. Was advertised as a raleigh but it's certainly isn't. It had a coventry eagle sticker on the front which I removed but I'm not sure really what make it is.
Managed to strip and regrease the bottom bracket and headset, cleaned and a quick polish. Some of the chrome work is pitted but it's not too bad.
Changed the saddle from a black one to this white one to try and keep that "Daz" look.
Not sure of the pipeage as the seatpost stem is 26.6 which means it's not gaspipe but probably not 531. That said it currently weighs between 11 and 12kgs so it's not to shabby.
Need to give it a spin to see how it goes then it's off to fleabay as Mrs T wasn't too impressed with another bike.
