Cool ride, those Raleigh USA bikes make comfortable roas SS. Looks like you worked the cockpit up already, stick with that, it looks good.
Front wheel QR needs to be on the other side.
I had an 85 Raleigh Marathon that spent quite a bit of time running around as a SS/fix. Loved it. Is this going to be a commuter ?

The KHS flite 100 again. Still have to cut the steering tube but new bars + Stem (deda pursuits/Cinelli Mash Stem) and cranks (sugino RD2). Need some end caps and bar tape as well. TenSpeed are you from east lansing? saw the pic of your felt on the red cedar river a few pages back.

Actually, it looks like the whole front end needs to fixed on that Kent...the brake cables are going over top of the handlebars.
Teknomage - you're going to need to fix that or find someone to fix it for you. I don't think I'd ride that in it's current standing.

My SS beater/townie. I'm slowly putting this together with nicer parts...when I find a nicer frame popup locally, I'll probably replace it and move the nicer parts over to the new bike. Added the basket a few weeks ago, put the tires and brooks on today. The brooks seems to be pointing at the sky, but when I level it out, I feel like I'm sliding off the front. I'm sure I still have some dialing-in to do.

Basket is the Portland Design Works Takeout Basket. Someone else posted a photo of their bike with it and I bought it a week later, haha. It's a great little basket.

Yep, and it's not that big of a basket that you would carry something too heavy for the supports. Perfect for a six pack! Actually, the most I've used it has been for leftovers.

Thanks for the info, been hesitant to put a rack or anything on my bike but more frequently I've been finding myself out and about without a bag and needing to run errands or pick up stuff. If it can hold a 6 pack, I'm sold

Hello. First post on the forum. Here is my Wabi Classic that I am currently riding. I've had the bicycle for a couple months and I am really enjoying it so far.
