Birthday Raleigh Record Ace

[Ecurie Peril]

Today concluded my 61st circumnavigation of the Sun. My neighbour Paul was eager to congratulate me this morning and when I opened the door to him he duly presented me with this rather splendid 25" Raleigh Record Ace frameset circa mid 80's.
It has been a long time since I was really thrilled by birthday gift. I felt like a kid again.
The plan is probably to build a road fixed gear with an irreverent powder coat finish. Raleigh gods forgive me please.

I think the Raleigh Gods will forgive you, I'm sure that they forgave me for mine.
Bought as a painted frameset, with components and decals added by me.

Oh - and Happy Birthday!

What’s up with the paint already on it? It’s better than my two main commuters, which I do more than 4000 miles a year on!
