New Project
I picked up an early-mid 50's Sports frame from George at Parts Unknown today.


I'm transferring parts over from a previous build that didn't suit me.

A tall Raleigh 10 speed frame, converted to a 3 speed.
The geometry on this was more upright and it never looked or rode right.
Parts include:
1961 back wheel
EA1 front wheel
Leather saddle and all the rest of the stuff.
It's a smaller frame but it will make for a fun and quick project
