like this. Ditch the low rent fixtures and fittings and it would make for a tidy workhorse. personally I'd like disc mounts, but that's me not you .

F**k! Dave even I'm not that bad. I agree with the fittings but the discs? Holy mother of God

It looks to be 100% original catalogue spec, I think? Really lovely.

Surely the most perfect, original retrobike.

It is, even down to the tyres. They present a dilemma, ride on them or take off and preserve?

let the next caretaker worry about tyres, how often do you really get to enjoy an old bike the way it should be?
ride the bloody tread off them Bob and just enjoy every single mile of it because you can

Bike is now home thanks to Mat. I've ridden it, saddle is surprisingly comfortable. Levers need moving up the bars. Mudguards are the noisiest I've got, toe straps are too small for my feet. Gear change front and rear is crap.
Not surprisingly it rides like a virtually new bike and is lovely in the flesh.

Jo's Pininfarina she likes it and it's a very quick fold.

I like Jo's bike it has proper bars seriously though thats a lovely bike she has.
The old Raleigh is in a class of its own and is very easy on the eye too, Im sure you'll get the niggles sorted out soon (if you havent already )
