Hello from BC Interior
Hi everyone,
New to the world of bike restoration and very rusty in riding them too. Recently retrieved my old 1975 Raleigh Colt from my aging parents who were happy to see it go. (It was tucked away in a shed they hadn't opened in 10 years...) So now as a new-ish mom of a toddler, I figure it's time. Time to ride again - either this bike or another. Found this site researching restoring old colts and here I am. I welcome feedback, suggestions and comments.

Welcome back AnnaM! Glad you've decided to pick back up cycling and restoring bikes.
