1985 Raleigh Team Corsa

Dirt Disciple
Picked up my new project. Been after one of these for ages and finally managed to pick this one up not far from me :D
Got it home and just had to tweak the wheels to sort out a couple of wobbles, tighten the crank arms and replace the gear cables before I could take it out for its first proper spin. Rides so smooth for a 30 year old bike!
In an ideal world it could do with a full strip and respray to sort some minor rust and a small dent in the top tube but I'm kind of liking the survivor look with all its battle scars.
Have some hoods on order together with toe clips/straps and will also probably change the tyres for some tan walls and the bar tape. Other than that just good clean and polish and we're good to go :D

 
1985 - Full Reynolds 501, not just the main tubes!

Lovely bike, soon there will be a Team Corsa Cult on here to go with the RRS one! :D
