Super Course Repaint Rebuild.

Hey Guys,

Building this up for my Kid Brother. What do you think? It's for his Birthday.

Before

After: New paint, decals, and my sloppy lug lining. I built the wheel set.

Super Coruse Repaint Rebuild.

Nice job! I picked up a Super Course a couple weeks ago and am enjoying it. You're a nice brother!
Looks great with the "Raleigh" in script. Lug lining really pops with that color as well.

No worries - sloppy lug lining was standard issue from most builders or companies and featured on most models..:-)

It's automotive paint painted by a good friend of mine. I did the lug lining and decal install.

He's been wanting a Vintage Roadbike for a long time now, and this frameset is a bit on the big side for me anyways. He's 6'5" and it should fit him perfectly.

Who made the decals? Excellent job.

I see bottle bosses were added. Any other mods?

Decals:

Crawfords Decals :

bcrawf@oh.rr.com

Only place I found for the early "Super Course" decals. ALso got the "Made In England" one too.

I had Mike Terraferma add the water bottle bosses. He also did work on my Paramount frame set, it's next in line.
