Raleigh Lizard

[Abaca]

Hi
The lizard has been lounging In the shed for ages and brings my bike count to 3.
Is this a worthwhile resto project?
Iv got the specialized to do first but then the lizard.
How nice can a lizard be?

With fire.

Lots and lots of fire.

And then bury it. Really, really deep.

Ps this was my first MTB in 1989/90 too. A blot on my mountain biking history that just won't go away

Can't bring myself to chuck it!
Its getting kept till nxt summer and try and build that fixed gear I always wanted to build.
Anyone know where to pick up a 26 fixed wheel?

Re:

just leave it outside for a while that'll kill it. had one given to me and everything was so rusted it literally fell apart in fact the only thing I was able to salvage was the neon orange bottle cage which I still have.

although I am aiming to do a charity ride on as bad and uncomfortable bike as possible and the lizard was a strong contender.

If you leave it out side you might scare the neighbours... I was only 10 when i had that bike... The good old Neon Orange Bottle Cage lol You'll need charity for the Chiropractor after a ride on that...
