Clever. Amazing build and many will never see it! Love it!

At last! Shes built!
Got the forks back this afternoon, and built her up.
The decals for the forks look so small on the long legs, so I fitted them where they looked best.
And I didn't want to use a Raleigh headbadge decal, I usually put something on a little different. I'd love a genuine Rolls-Royce engineering sticker, but a repro is fine for now.
More is a sec as we have been out for a spin....

Out and about.
I wish I had taken a tripod with me, instead of relying on high iso values...
I am very pleased with the result. I called in at the local bike shop this afternoon, and they were pretty stunned at the result.

Ooh, totally forgot. There is a chain tug I made too, from titanium.
Started with a cheapy ti bolt from the 'bay, lopped the head off and welded it to a boss/washer i spun up on the lathe.
Then fabricated the seat from little pieces of ti, and drilled it to accept the tug.
And fitted:-

Works amazingly well, expected it to look awkward but looks factory. How's it ride though?

Cheers, she rides fine. Ideally I would like the bars an inch or so lower, it would make pedalling stood up more natural, but its no problem. Its great fun to ride. When the bike was a single speed mtb, I would rarely use it as it was awkward and slow because of the tyres, now it is much faster and fun to ride.
I can see this getting used a lot.

Maybe after the shoots get some cruiser bars tested on there. Love it. Certainly made me question my mustang build
