If I had known this thread existed I would have posted here first. I have always admired Rivendells; and when I found this 1986 Raleigh Technium 440, It gave off that aesthetic vibe like so many Raleigh's do. I'm not happy with the brake lever location, and I have a little more work to do, so be kind. Still to add/change: redo brake levers and handle bar tape; add fenders (maybe bamboo); rear silver rack with bamboo deck.









1970's and 1980's Raleigh's IMHO, click most of the boxes for "the poor man's Rivendell". Once I'm done with with the last few touches I'll post some "glamor shots".
