Danikka gets the Create, smackerjack the Raleigh. Gotta share the bike love. Thanks all who took an interest.

Danikka, if we can take fruitbat up on his kind offer, they're yours. Just to add the rattle can paint job on the Raleigh is dreadful (mea culpa).

It's shed clearing time, anyone interested in these? Collection from Ashford (Kent).
Raleigh Winner frame, no-name forks, recently installed bb, headset is a bit stiff and would need a tinker. bit of rust. s/t60cm t/t58cm
Create frame/forks, seat post, bb & stem. s/t 59cm t/t56cm. A real bobby dazzler 'ahem'

yup, a few coats of clear stuff, I really like the basic look of unadorned metal. The next build will be a bit more colourful, tho. cheers.

looks like really low gearing, but im new to this shit. brake cable could do with a trim?
otherwise nice!
Cheers, ratio is 44:17, pretty much perfect for where I live (the rolling hills of Kent). & consider it trimmed!

This is my first fixed build. Raleigh Winner frame, wheels built by a chum, other bits cheap from the interweb. I have a curvy lo pro fetish, so I've started saving.
I picked this Courtois up in France last week (serial no 25874). There's very little information about Courtois on the interweb, any forumers know a bit more detail on them. The bike itself seems to have some nice kit on it, Stronglight cranks (52/45 tooth), Mafac centre-pull brakes, Simplex derailleurs and Campag hubs. Merci.
