I just found a Raleigh Colt, Step thru, at the side of the road. Apparently dumped.
It has no saddle, just a seat post, Busted spokes in the front wheel, and a bent handlebar.
What to do with it? Can the front wheel be rebuilt? rim seems OK. I read that the Sturmey
Archer 3 speeds are indestructible, I can source a cable set for it. I am thinking of cleaning
it up and fitting it with baskets as a shopper. The rear hub has a '62 date code. Don't want
to desecrate a rare beast, but this isn't a collectible right? Doing a careful rattlecan paint
job on it isn't going to get me run out of C&V is it?
