Hi everyone, names Kyle and I'm new to these parts (be nice). Just here to learn as I go along.

Anyway....

Picked up this recently for £20 with the plan on turning it into my noble steed. I have another bike but more on that another time. Its a Raleigh Medale, and frankly I dont know anything about it. If any of you wizards on here know anything please let me know, I would appreciate it. I.e frame tubing, component info etc.

Here are some pics anyway.

To me its doesnt look like worthy of restoring to period specific so I'll be going a different route. Atleast I'll be saving another bike. I'm thinking either all black everything, or rebuild with the raleigh team colours (white, red, blue).. Not sure on that particular model either but watching another thread on here where the OP has that scheme in mind.

Thanks for reading.

Definitely restore it! Looks like you only need a nice crankset, rear mech and saddle. A good solid clean and rebuild would have that looking brilliant!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
