my new project - 1988 Raleigh Quadra

Are those cranks not anodised, meaning you can't really polish them?

Yes, but the blemishes are where the finish is holed so you can polish the bloom off. Won't go completely but will look better. I've done it to a few of mine.

I will give a shot with some discreet area which is hard to see.
Thanks All

I have found this one too which is a lot cheaper and could put it to one side as project to do?

The clubman is a nice bike, takes 27" wheels.
SBDU is lovely too obviously

Quadra rebuild update.
The original owner has found the white saddle and seat post, I just have to collect it.
The saddle has seen better days so I may enquire about getting it recovered.

Selle Royal Trithalon or the Iscaselle Polo were the brochure saddles for the series 1 and series 2 respectively. Looks like they either ran out on the line or switched over for another reason.

My new purchase.
1998 Peugeot Competition 2000
Its like new! Bar tape is still in great condition.
ridden 3 times apparently
Original tyres and not cracked.
Having some trouble with the Brake - shifters, I think the front shifter is freed off.
All I have done is cleaned it and lubed the chain.
Colourful !!

Cor!! That is bright

Regarding the shifters, looked at the videos and it looks do able, fiddly I'll bet, ordered the spring retainer.
Onward
