I am going to be selling this on here.My back wont do drop bars any more.All the money will be going to The Childrens Trust.

Kevin told me that Alec built all his frames.

An old friend of mine had a Saturday job in one of the cycle shops,he had to draw the shapes on the blank lugs,& file them to shape.I understand this was standard practice,right up to the 1970's.

Hi chipper,Kevin Scriven was a 'Works' rider for Hinds.My bike is one of his,he rode it for about 1200 miles on a tour of Normandy.When I met Kevin,I forgot to ask him about dates.The frame builder was Mr Bird. From the components,I would guess your bike is later than mine.

A good alloy tig welder would sort that,I have got 4 guys that could all sort it.Would I bother repairing it?No,the machining after welding would take more time than its worth.

Do you know the paint code,or colour for Raleigh orange?
