Been Painting - Big Thanks to ajp99
I put up a post asking for an old racer in the wanted section, and Alec (ajp99) responded, I popped over to Chester last week to collect the 80's Raleigh Winner and share a drink with him and 75 chat, members on this site are great folk.
Its looks in working order below, but it was fairly seized up Spent most of the day fiddling with it Sanding, spraying, greasing, oiling Loved it Its not done yet, needs new tyres, gear cables and chain but getting there. Thanks again Alec

Not that anyone cared last time, but again thanks to Alec
Have now finished this bike I have 3 events coming up a 30miler a 45miler and a 70miler!! and intend to use this bike. So just to say, in these times of turmoil! this club is about its members, especially when they help out complete strangers like Alec did with me. Simon

Mate that is so cool. Me and my Grandpa had these bike's and they were great to ride. Nice job on the respray,, But maybe a little bit of Yellow on the back fork's would have looked good.. ?.
