Love how the cables go into the frame, cool and very aero!

GLWS.

The black can be removed by oven cleaner but will be hard to check the progress of
he oven cleaner as a raw alloy part turns black, so if there is already black on there it
will be hard to judge when you need to remove the part from the oven cleaner,never
leave oven cleaner on for more than two hours as it can actually form a hard
black coating which is a bitch to get off.

My advice is to go the old-school route and remove the black with the use of Wet & Dry sanding paper,
never use 'Sand paper' as this will seriously damage and scratch the alloy and will be terrible to remove
the deep scratch's, Always work down the grades using the Wet & Dry paper, its a long boring process
but after several hours you'll have the black off, then its time to start polishing the part,
again don't go mad as a rushed job will be a poor job.

Foam sanding pads are very useful in getting into the nicks/corners,
also buy quality wet & dry paper and not cheap crap which will break up in water.

Remember if you see fine scratch's in the alloy! DON'T PANIC, this is all the process
and you will remove the scratch's as you work down the finer grades of paper.

You will also need plenty of used cotton cloth, old bed sheet is the best and alloy polish.

I've polished stacks of stuff over the years and all my end results look like chrome as the surface is very flat.

HA! I was about to send you this link Ian!!

I do hope so mate, this will save me alot bother searching.

still got a 110mm stem left ??

what do you mean by being soldered - scuze my ignorance.

'Tied & soldered' is where wire is wrapped around where the spokes cross and then soldered, this stops the spokes from flexing and makes the wheel much stronger.

Bike arrived.

Packaged very well and survived the long trip.

Now to blitz this bike and bring it up to near NOS.

Thanks Daniel.

Dibs on a shag pile carpet please! Looks very nice.

At first glance, I thought she was holding a large sex toy. .

Now that was funny mate....LMAO.

Paid and its mine! All mine!

This will be treasured and you wonder why I call myself ''Ian Raleigh''

Daniel i've sent you another PM.

Regards.
Ian.

Can I please have the bike please!

Deadly serious and sent you two PM's.

Regards.
Ian Collis.

Spent some considerable time going through these pages/bikes/frames and many float my boat and are truly wanking material!

The only flashy nice bike have is in boring old blue with a bit of chrome here and there!

Shite photo!

Jesus is that the right price ! Wonder if 'shill bidding' hiked up the price!

''Nar' needs Garlic'' !!!

It needs some quality tanwall tyres mate! Ditch the black ones! This is spoiling the look of this lovely machine.

I have a friend who has over £50,000 in retro bikes and they are just stored in several sheds and his big garage, He thinks they are quite safe as no one knows about them! He is a fool to think his entire collection is safe!

In all seriousness about getting your bike nicked these people are SCUM of the earth
and just to lighten you guys up, well I do hope it lightens you lot up! I've spotted the thief!

Saddens & angers me to hear of these stolen bikes and having a mint bike stolen
from me out of our shed I know how you guys feel, I never got my machine back too.

If I ever have to leave my bike un-attended I always flip up the quick release
on the brake callipers and then tighten up the brake cable adjuster so the
brake pads are touching the rims, flip the quick release back down thus
locking the brakes onto the rims I also push back both gear leavers so
its not in gear correctly, This stops the opportunist thief from jumping
on the bike and riding away with my pride and joy.

My idea works well too as last year I watched knob jump on my
bike and he tried to ride off but he was thrown over the bars
and I kicked the bastard in the head and he ran like a rat!

It only takes a couple of minutes to re-set the brakes & gears so its well worth it.

105 groupset arrived all well and good, really happy with the set.

Thank-you Michael.

Regards.
Ian.

Are both skewers included ? Whats the freewheel ?

My wheels on my Raleigh are just about knackered now.

Can you post ?

I live in the UK! postcode...NG198DJ

I'll give you a bag of cement mate! A little bit dearer than sand but it will hold its price more!

Rear brake-cable needs shortening by miles. Who the hell put on the Columbus decal....lol

Richard? The polished stuff looks OUTSTANDING

Hmmmm!

Hmmm! You sure is a C34 cross bike there are many differences between the red & blue frame ?

I'm sure the seller will get a chance to explain this bike, Thats if the wolves have not ate him alive :(
