Ha, do you have any pics or your own self congratulating thread yet? What year is your Raleigh? I have a 73 track I plan on restoring after this...

Just for curiosity, how are you planning to fill the dents? With Plastic Padding or similar compound?
-
• #39
Not sure how I will fill the dents yet but something like that I'd guess... want ot do it myself rather than have someone else do it... that's the whole vibe of the project.

Forks have gone in for tightening... excitement growing.
"I'll make them so the tyre touched the crown, then I'll file a little bit off..."
BOSH! -

Ha, cheers dude, road though... and not flat crown... so close, again!

So, the forks are back and perfectly balanced with 20's (Thanks Ted! - a true craftsman, and also mentioned that he hadn't built the forks originally, so another lie from BLB, or just crossed wires somewhere?).
Just a bit more cleaning up to do and then I'm off to buy the paint. -

Looking good Chris!

Cheers!
Cleaned the forks up more as spraying revealed a few bumps... wish it was bright ad dry so I could crack on with the frame (and get non shit grainy photos from my iPhone)

Looking good, nice work on the forks, that has tightened everything up.
I'm sure the framebuilder can fill the ding
