Hello gang,
For the second time this year Raleigh bikes have come my way. This time I could'nt resist a his and hers 75-76 Emerald Green Sprite pair with 10 speed Huret equipment. I wanted to pay less but I know the previous owners and they had a lot emotionally invested in the bikes having purchased them new. I paid $100 for the pair. Paint is quite exceptional, but all the rims, cranks and plated parts are rusty.
What are some good tricks for cleaning up the metal bits?
I took some pics when I unloaded the Jeep today.
The pictures are later in the thread.
