Still working on this one - many kinks to work out. It started as a quadrant shifter - the rest of the bike followed....

That's not a 1940s model - It's late 1960s by the seat tube stripes and the pedal reflector, as well as the Raleigh logo.

Spring is getting closer, and the parts are starting to come together on the '34 Raleigh Sports. It's starting to get more expensive as I locate more authentic parts and ditch the place holders that...

I like to clear coat the decals before I do too much to the paint. For little stuff, a can of spray paint sprayed into the cap, then applied with a Q-tip works, followed by a shot of clear coat will...

For the rear hub, the manufacturer's recommendation is one my favourite things I've ever read in a technical manual. I don't recall the year, but they recommend "two teaspoons of oil per fortnight"....

1934 Raleigh Sports frame

A while ago I bought a Sturmey Archer K Quadrant shifter. I decided I needed to build a bike around it. I just bought this 1934 Raleigh Sports frame, which will use 1960's vintage parts and new...

It's a "laid back" bmx seatpost. I'm 6'2" riding a 23" bike, but I've found that the bmx world and old Raleighs have a lot in common in terms of parts dimensions, not so much in attitude (I've never...

On the road again...

After a couple of years, back on the road.

I've got an extra loop frame DL-1, though I'd jump on the craigslist post above if it's in your area. Mine is a 1967, nothing real special but it's all there. I bought it without thinking about who...

I've had a few old Brooks saddles with split leather at the rivets. I won't ride them - I have this vision of the leather failing and the seat post going right into the cavity that it's pointed...
