Bicycle Renovation
We are currently renovating old bicycles that have either been rescued or bought.
Ladies Raleigh Classic
The following images are of a current project to rebuild a pre war Ladies Raleigh. It was in very poor condition when we got it. It had a broken front wheel axle and was covered in grime. The grime has now been removed and the frame painted. A new Brooks saddle has been added. There are some problems with the Sturmey Archer 3 speed which requires more work.
It was in a poor state when we found it in a garage.
Finished Bike has been repainted.
It also has a traditional Brooks Saddle with springs.
Original 3 speed changer before restoration.

A nice chainset with the Raleigh Insignia.
Now cleaned you can see the Raleigh Bird's eyes.
There was an unbelievable amount of grime.
The grime has now been removed.
