Well, those basket case Raleigh Sports are now in my basement. These are about as far gone as any bikes I've ever dealt with. My goal is to salvage enough for one complete bike though it might mean building new wheels as the spokes are really rusted on both. Seller was cleaning out his elderly parents' house and said they purchased these new back in the day and left them sitting out in the yard for the last 50 years.

I'm going to need lots and lots of Evaporust!
