I vaguely remember disassembling and regreasing the headset on my Raleigh Twenty when I was about twelve; I'm sure I did other stuff, but I don't remember. The Twenty was an iconic bike, although just a three speed roadster really, and mine was the top of the range with a sprung leather saddle and metallic paint. I have a rusty one in the yard that I might rebuild/upgrade one day.
