  Hi Corduroy & hi all, apologies for the late reply, yes, the bike is now ready and on the road, with new wheels and tyres.

  I will upload more images of the bike later on this evening. :)

  Hi All,

  It's been a while since I last posted some updates, but back with some updates and more pics :)

  The bike is coming up really clean and as expected.

  

  

  

  

  

  Yesterday I taped the handlebars, it was the first time I every taped a handlebar, but overall came up really well also.

  Still have some more progress to be done, any comments are welcome :)

  Thanks.

  I also really like to use Autosol, it works wonders. Upload some pics of the progress when you have time :)

  Hi loctez,

  Thanks for the comment, yes I am keeping it geared. I will be using the original rear and front derailleurs as they are still in good condition, but maaybe in the future I will change them.

  Hi, great bike you've got there :), it is also very very similar to mine (see below link), mine is a Raleigh Team Europa 1979.

  If I were you I would refurbish it but do not convert it to single speed. as Stu F said, just change the cables if they are worn out, and as for the brake calipers, just autosol them and they will come up nice and shiny. I would also remove the mud flaps and the bike will get a more sporty look.

  A big no in my opinion. as edscoble said will make your bike look ugly.
