Raleigh Record Sprint 501

Sprint501

Retro Newbie
First of all Hi to all this is my first post. My son was given a Raliegh Record sprint a couple of years ago to ride to work on for ' free'. I had a quick look but to honest did not pay it much attention. Its been in the garage and not used for a year or so. I decided last weekend to clean it up. It has been transformed and has had new handle bar tape and seat and is in very good condition. I did a 20 mile ride on it and was very impressed. I am now as possessed about this bike as I am my Jamis. I would like to restore it to like new condition and I wondered if anybody new where I could get hold of some new decals as a couple are scratched.
Was very pleased to stumble across this sight. :cool:
 
Hi Sprint501,
Welcome to the site - loads of info here, along with lots of stuff to drool over and just lose time with...


Decals - two usual sources are
1) on E-bay - Cyclemondo, based in Australia.
2) HLloydcycles.com (sorry, my computer is on go-slow, struggling to google the correct web address) who are based in Cumbria.

Good luck and do feel free to post some pics (before, during and after), hint, hint.

Regards,
David
