Having been bitten by the retro bug last year when I revamped and old Raleigh Equipe, I am now sorting out an another oldie for my good lady, as she was impressed at how mine turned out.
My Raleigh Equipe was dipped and stripped prior to being painted, so I didn't have to worry about removing the tattered and torn decals, however, as the paintwork on the bike I'm doing for Mrs M is in pretty good nick, I am only wanting to get rid if the 1980s decals which are scraped and looking tatty. The bike in question is a nothing special really, but has every day use potential as a commenter. It's a mixte, a Raleigh Rhapsody.
Cheers.
