Here's my current project. '57 (I was told) Raleigh Sports. It was a "barn find" (or maybe a garage or storage shed) but it has been inside a structure most of it's life. It did have a Dynohub which I still have. After a couple of washings with Spin Doctor Bike Wash (dish soap and an old toothbrush on the really caked-up grease areas) final wash was with acetone and preserved with linseed oil. I still gotta get the stem out since the steering is pretty stiff. Never Dull on the chrome parts.

Anyway my plan is a resto-mod with 700c rims and modern S-A hubs w/drum brakes.
