Mines fully stripped down ! I was even more amazed at the cotter pins coming out with just a light tap.......i have never,ever had that with the old bikes i used to own,they either required serious forceor drilling out !

Still the same basic shape as mine but without the hinge. What does this Raleigh look like ? I'm thinking of a new paint job for mine.

I fixed up a Raliegh twenty - if you just do one thing, change the tyres for a set of high pressure tyres!! You'll be amazed at the difference (ps high pressure 451 tyres come up on ebay regularly!!)

Sadly the old Barum Czech made tyres are goosed ! I would like to replace them with the same but i guess that is going to be impossible.
