Bikes: More than the people who ride them...oy.

Raleigh taking shape
Frustratingly tried to iron out the chrome situation and mostly gave up. Some is peeling leaving what I think is the zinc to polish.

I think the paint looks pretty loyal to Raleighs of the day...and came out pretty well overall.

Not sure I will come under the $108 for the cheapie build but frame up I think is a good category for me.



The overall layout

Ughhhhh...the chrome! At least the Campy chrome is nice. And freaking heavy as headsets go.

Like the gunmetal, purple and white accents. The paint was matte but the clear coat gives it a sheen

Not too bad rattle can.

A very rare use of decals for Dave (I don’t re-decal). More on why later.

Drops opened up to 129. Should be fine. 🤞
