The project at hand




I found myself a new little project of doing up this old school Raleigh. I found it in Rah's parents hay shed, and they were quite happy with me having it to work on. I had Rah's brother in law to look over it and help me work out what is needed to be done to get this beauty back to its full glory. I have since bought and replaced the back tyre and inner tube which I was stoked only cost me $35. And for the last week I have been derusting and polishing up all the chrome on it. Next job will be to spray paint the mud guards white again, and I'm hoping that will make a huge difference. Also looking at buying some brand new raleigh pedal blocks which are one trademe at the moment, and keeping my eye out for either a black or white seat for it.
So I am pleased to have this to keep me busy while I wait for course to start back up, because I have lost all motivation to do any design either for course or for fun.
