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...

Got lots of research done and am sure I have the correct version as it is a Mk1 1983 and yes all the 'bits' are gold anodised. Need a front hub as it has been sprayed a poor gold. Will try getting paint off if all else fails. I have all original bits other than the front hub and the saddle...

David at Colour-Tech is setting them for me. We checked the frame which is straight and does not have any cracks near the front lug which is where it would normally be if in a crash. Bike was found in a garden half buried and of unknown history. Thanks for your comment much appreciated will post...

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

Re: My NG frame number has 7 numbers after the NG. See my post today that has a picture of it when I rubbed it down for spraying. hope this is of assistance. eejay oldvelo

Can I get any more information about my Mk1 from the frame number other than Nottingham and 1983. see Photo of NG3025501.

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...

Re: Yes mine is the early one with the R on the seat tube and two gold rings above and below.

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...

Re: The hubs are the most damaged but are gold. Are you stripping the bike or selling as a whole bike?

Well I measured mine which is tight in the seat tube and in very poor condition. I suppose the seat tube could be a bit crushed by the clamp.

Looking for a 26.8mm fluted aluminium seat tube for my 1983 Record Sprint. New equivalent or used in good condition considered. Up to £20. eejay_old_velo

Re: RRS decals Hi I have recently purchased a 1983 RRS for refurbishment and wondered if you still had a copy of the decals you could scan for me. Mine has none as the frame has been resprayed at some point. It does have all the 'gold' and I want to try and restore is as good as yours...

Re: RRS decals Hi Not sure if you are still following this forum. I have recently purchased a 1983 RRS and was interested to find out if you still have a copy of the original decals you would be willing to scan for me so I can get some replicas made. eejay_old_velo
