Vintage Raleigh Bikes

[djungelskog]

Hey peeps,
got these two Raleigh pioneers from an old couple who bought them in the 90s. Im hoping to do up the men’s bike first. Maybe get some nicer looking handlebars and slowly turn it into a bit of a project for fun. Any advise on stem sizes, recommended seats etc, things to generally make it a nicer/cooler bike. I’m new so any advise is a great help! Kind regards, Arthur

I think we’ve pretty much covered this in your other thread but the better pic is useful. Maybe you’d like to address the points we raised?
I'd get some narrower and straighter bars unless you like that position.

They look in quite good condition as they are. Saddles are personal, so whatever you are comfortable on.
For the bars, maybe some straight ones for a slightly more aggressive position.

Perhaps a moderator could merge the threads?
