Raleigh Gran Sport 1983 - Bringing it back from the dead

[Peachy!]

I walk and mount by/from the non-drive side, but I place all my wheel decals to be read from the side I mainly photograph from, namely the drive side...

Re:

Definitely from the drive side. If you are interested enough to want to read the rim label then you want to be looking at the transmission components too.

Well - thanks for the opinions. I ended up going with the suggestion of making sure it all reads the right way up from the drive side - this matches the GP4s on my other bikes too!

New brakes have arrived - time for a dry fit with the new wheels.

February 2021 Update - I have dropped the frame off with Catherine at Universal Cycle Centre for a repaint in the original colour and have dropped the forks off to be rechromed in Nottingham.

This project is now beginning to cost serious £ but hopefully the end result will be worth it!!

Lol... tell me about it :roll:

Re:

Just to give you an idea of some of the other stuff that I have had to buy for this build... none of which comes cheap!

Five colours of bar tape might be a tad OTT! :facepalm:
