Right yes, i know now...you got the frame from Jos yeah? Well, i'll be sure to yell if i see you about then!

best use of 'tash bars ive ever seen

Verrry nice there phaser. The bar tape/saddle/tire/frame colour combination pleases me. So what handle bars are you sporting?

the paint on this is luscious. just want to lick it off!!!

that is one sweet looking raleigh.
get hold of a rivet gun and fix that badge properly ;)

looks very grown up bro. classy

Yeah i know :(
Had a right old mare trying to fashion some rivets out of brass tacks, but was too eager to get it on to finish the bike, so i just used some tub tape...super sticky, innit!

glad your gonna loose that drop stem too :)

Yeah! A nos 1970s Titan stem just landed this morning...will get some more pics up as soon as it's fitted.
Noice!!

that is tasty, the bars look awsome.

oooh, that's noice!

Good job!

i already posted this in another thread, but anyway, this the latest project.

the lugs look like cresperas to me, but i'm really not sure. there is quite a spiky lug on the fork. the brake is a 73' dura ace i think. the bike is early fifties bob jackson, 5 speed, or possibly single, 120mm spacing, with old old headclip. it's making friends with my vigorelli.

phasergunalex that really is a lovely machine. i don't like the bars but that is neither here nor there. good work dude

it is really lovely, armortex has gone up in my estimation. lovely paint.

I think they are both (phasergunalex and pjs) nicely done. I'm still astonished that pj got the bob for so little - are the effects of the pistadex being affected by the credit crunch? ;)

high start price always wards off the early birds.

i was the ONLY bidder.

i was the puppy dog killer.

:)

haha you funny. you funny man.

i think the puppies already done been killed by this one, i have a feeling it's been run as fixed wheel over the years. only has room for a five speed cassette anyway.

i was joking pj. it just fitted.

i like it by the way.

I think that's possibly the nicest orange bike I've ever seen.

That's a beauty.. One of the best I've seen on here.

Love the bars. Think Hassanr has the same. Nitto B???

Yeah they are, i actually stole these from Hassan shifty eyes...he had some spare.
And yes, they are Nitto, not sure of the code though, there's far too many to remember!

Phasergunalex - very nice, I am really liking the bars.
