Time for a rod brake clunker...

Here is the 1978 Raleigh Tourist DL-1 that I found in a local sale for equivalent of US$75:



Not sure how I will get 100km on these tires...


Almost all of the original parts are still there (even the original tires and tubes), but a few things that will require some aluminum foil and and polish. The fenders have some surface rust. I have a seat and a pair of period-appropriate pedals that I purchased recently for a total of US$7 (bringing my running account to US$82). Now I am heading to the local bike co-ops to see if I can find 40-635 tires. More to follow.
