Nope... but I was inspired by seeing some really nice (and even nicer) work.. unlike many of those bikes sold on fleabay.

People have asked me if I could do this for them but 25 hours of work at my usual rate has deterred them from proceeding any further.

The bike is a '73 Raleigh Gran Sport so besides being pretty, she's pretty light, and is not a garage queen... when I got my Ron Cooper I retired the Gran Sport from geared status and turned her back into a fixed gear and dressed up her shabby paint and almost non-existant graphics.
