    Raleigh Ti frame with repair

    Not sure that looks like a carefully placed, suitably sized, reinforced and carefully finished hole to reduce stress concentration - possibly more like it was too hard to get the torch and rod in? I'd ride it if it was mine but I wouldn't be surprised when it broke again.

    Hey just found this wrecked GT with odyssey parts, can I save it......? Looks early 2000!

    This is going to be a great transformation - lots of effort but being well rewarded!

    Vinegar works but quite slowly. I quite like using citric acid - cheap enough if buying a reasonable quantity. Be nice to keep as much chrome as possible but depends how you want to use/store it. A wipe with an oily rag every couple of months does wonders!

    Looking very useful indeed! I also like the look of those bars, what are they please?

    Tell me about these twisted spokes?

    It was all a happy accident when during the wheel build stud lock was accidently used instead of lubricant on the spoke threads. The only way to tension up the wheels was to twist the spokes. Et voilà, Bob's yer uncle!

    Looks like it could be a great bike, lots of original parts - do you like polishing?

    Isn't a rim brake just the biggest mechanical disc that can be fitted anyway?

    Raleigh Sirocco

    .... My dad stole it!....I always wondered where he got the cash for his gold coloured Casio watch from. Didn't even leave it to me in his will.

    Raleigh Sirocco

    Nice looking bikes for what they are. My uncle got one of these shortly after I got a Raleigh Quasar - I think he 'had' to go at least one up the range! Has been offered to me recently but I'm not really a road bike rider and I think he'd want me to keep it. My Quasar was stolen from the front...
