Nice little mover. Looks in pretty good condition considering it's abandoned. If the BB is anything like the one on the raleigh I just cleaned up you can take it apart and clean/regrease/etc and it'll probably run fine, only thing to think about is chainline issues. There's a thread somewhere here about raleigh BBs (26tpi). You planning on keeping the mudguards? If not I can find a good home for them :)

You're welcome to have them. They're a little bit bent in places and need a good clean and a bit of tlc, but no other problems.
Obviously you'll have to wait a bit because I don't want to start work on it then for someone to claim it back...
It weighs a bloody tonne with all the crap on it!
Edit: hmmm I have a feeling the BB is going to be a pain in the arse.

Look what I found...

It's a Raleigh Courier, haha.
Reckon it'll be worth doing up? I found it on the street, reported it to the police and I can have it within 28 days. It doesn't look as if anyone will claim it. I found it about a week ago, just haven't got round to posting it on here. There's a bit of rust, but it looks as if it's in the paintwork rather than the frame.
I've got a pair of singlespeed wheels lying about but I'd need to cold set the frame a bit and run it as a suicide hub (rotafix!)
It's got a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub, too. I'm tempted to mod it up as a 2 speed fix, a la Mr S Brown.
I'm thinking it'd be good for my first year of uni because I don't want to leave my nice bike outside overnight, even with insurance.
I wouldn't mind a respray in lime green, then lots of chrome :)
The only thing that I'm a bit concerned about is whether or not I'll be able to get a BB, in case its some old discontinued variety.
