Hi All, :)
I bought this Raleigh bike few days ago in a bit of a bad state and I’m really looking forward on this project. I owned another Raleigh bike like 10 years ago (I was only 15 at the time), but this one I am more looking forward to restore it. :)
From the information I got from the previous owner the bike was red and a one owner bike, the frame was sprayed yellow so no stickers are attached to identify the exact frame model, the only tag I have is a tag with Nottingham England (see below image).
Any idea on what the Frame model is?
This is the state of the bike as I got it:

Now the next steps I have in mind is to remove all the paint and clean up the few bits left and hopefully paint the first undercoat. :)
Any suggestions and information are welcome.
Thanks for viewing my thread and will keep you updated with the latest progress. :)
