Am I really so out of control that I'll buy any project that'll come my way?!
Just acquired a Raleigh Twenty Special which was much worse than it looked in the picture my sister sent me. Anyway something in me said it could be an interesting project so I got her to hand over a bag of peanuts and she brought it round to me earlier.
Solid frame and gold alloy araya rims are the pros everything else are the cons!
I was going to pimp it as a street "racer" type thing until my wife said that she wouldn't mind it. So its gonna be a modernisation job instead although research tells me that it will be no easy ride (pun intended)
Only thing I am sure of at the moment is that I will fit one of those 26 tpi cotterless bb kits on eBay and fit a better alloy crank. Think the stem and brakes will give me some grief.
