This photo shows why I enjoy working on old bikes (ride a modern one too though, just like to ride). This is from my first 74 Raleigh International and this is the hub being polished. I purposely worked on one side first and got a photo before finishing the other side--I love how it shows the transformation. This bike is a very good rider and has good patina, evident by some of the pitting in the hub--but it cleaned up beautifully and gets lots of comments on group rides from the guys that remember this era.
