Discarded bike

Retro Newbie
This little bike was being thrown out. It had a nice saddle which caught my eye as I was driving by so decided to give it a new life. It’s a 70s Eatons Glider. They were made in England by Raleigh. It was laying in 2 pieces in a scrap metal heap. Steering bearings were missing. I disassembled the whole bike, cleaned and serviced the rear coaster hub and BB Etc. Painted the mudguards and chain guard. the tires and tubes were still in excellent condition. Kept me busy for a week.
