Can you list your own bike porn on here?
This was my project from two years ago, all based on my love of the true original when I was a kid in the 80's.
The frame is actually a Raleigh Special Products division frame made from Reynolds 853, and I picked it up for £25 without a headset as it was corroding in someone's shed. I did all the frame prep, and then a specialist painters painted the frame yellow and black, before sanding it down so that it could be passed back to me so I could sort all the decals out. After applying the decals it then went back to the painters for the clear coat, before I got it back to build it up as seen here.
It now gets ridden hard through the winter months when it's cold, wet and miserable, rather than my main road bike with it's gears, and whilst my TT bike spends it's time glued to my turbo.
