In the works...

Fall is upon us and I was wondering what projects folks have planned to keep them occupied through the cold and dreary winter months...

I am looking forward to working on my 1954 Raleigh Sports road bike which is getting a 700c conversion to replace the hard to find Dunlop EA1 wheels and tyres and I found a complete Cyclo 3 speed drive conversion kit (1960's) that will turn it into a 9 speed.

If I apply myself I will have it ready for road testing before the snow flies.

Now... bad shop pictures I took when I got it in a trade for a scruffy old Trek 720 that was too big for me.





On that note, I saw a 1979 Raleigh Sports today that had a drop bar conversion and dang was that ever a nice bike.
