Finally completed the restoration so thought I would post a picture. Have ridden it a few time and was reminded how much fun it is on a old bike. Thanks to forum for all the help and advice. See you when I start the next one. eejay Old_velo

Raleigh Record Sprint 12 -1983 Mk1. I have fully restored this using all the original components. The bike has been completely stripped and all bearings replaced. The only non original parts are the saddle, the pedals, the bottle cage and the pump. I tried to find parts of the same style. The...

My Mk1 Raleigh Record Sprint restoration progress report. So I have cleaned and checked the frame & forks in prep for spraying. No rust found so thats good for a 30 year old frame. One bottle cage fixing will be replaced and the forks need some adjustment, so not bad for a 30 year old frame. Now...

Looking for a front wheel or hub for my 1983 Raleigh Record Sprint. Must be the anodised gold hub. Wheel condition not important as I have a good rim and new spokes.

I have stripped my Raleigh Record Sprint Mk1 completely and I am preparing the frame for painting. My questions is about whether I should remove the brass had badge, if so where would I get small rivetts to refit it. (Removing would also make painting it easier). Also the should I remove the...

Have just acquired a 10 speed Falcon - Kellogg's 1983/1984/1985 City Centre Winners. I assume it will be 1985 ish. It's white with frame flashes. It is very original with mudguards. Saddle seems a bit newer. It is very heavy. Is it worth restoring or should it go to the great heap of bikes in a...

Should I remove the bottom cable guide prior to having the frame sprayed? If so will a standard pop rivet be sufficient to hold it back in place? eejay old velo

I have a short video of my first ever wheel build and wanted to know if the alignment is good enough for my 1983 Raleigh Record Sprint. I will only be riding it occasionally and will not be doing the TDF. If anyone can have a look for me let me know and I can email the video or put it on fb...

Is there an owner of a 1983 Mk1 Raleigh Record Sprint, who would be willing to photograph the decals in detail. I have found a local company who could make them for me but do not have any apart from poor quality. I would also need some accurate mearements of the decals. I will then get a few...

As the autumn approaches and riding outside is reduced, I have started stripping my 1983 Record Sprint. The 'gold' components are showing their age somewhat. My question to the forum is should I restore leaving the 'old' original look to the gold components or should I spray them or perhaps try...

Hi All After getting a rapid response I have identified my recent acquisition as a Raleigh Record Sprint circa 1983. Where would I find the frame number on the bike. I have looked but cannot see it but it may have been re-sprayed and cover it as it does not have any decals. eejay_old_velo
