dressing up a vintage '83 Raleigh never looked so good. Now if the snow was gone I could do some riding!

Now I have two to consider that job with!
Well there is always something to do in the dead of winter when it is nine below zero...
I did the black in 2.5 and the white in 3.2 Lizard Skins... The 3.2 is a bit more of a challenge to install the end plug. But I certainly will enjoy both when it warms up in the Spring!
Thank you for the advise!
