Hi Lucas I think it's a trick of the light and those rims reflecting all the surrounding colours, looks nice though. Wonder if it would go viral if I stick on Facebook :-)

Hi Lucas I've just sold this bike last week, someone made me an offer so I let it go... Guess I will have to build another now:-) wheels are Weinmann DP18 with the stickers removed

Go on you know you want to;-) Theres not much left of the original frame in this though. Looking over it I think the only section that hasnt been modified is the bottom bracket and first 8" of bottom tube, also the front 9" or so of top tube. Everything else has either been cut, bent, extended...

Hi Luke How can i put it it rides 'floppy' actually its not toooo bad, the steering turns to about 85º and turning circle is still huge and very very light on the front wheel, hence no front brake. I couldn't see it actually being a great deal of use (ill probably regret saying that). I have...

Hi Yes lots of work, I shortened the chain stays to pull the rear wheel in closer to seat tube, then shortened the seat stays and relocated them with a homemade lug further down the seat tube, notice how narrow the rear brake bridge is now. Front forks are also shortened an 1" or so, removed...

Thanks Guys Its always a scary moment posting something up for the World to see, never know what the reaction will be:)

A 1950's Raleigh 'Superbe Roadster Model' frame (Notice the removable bolt on rear seat stays). Their super deluxe version Sported roller lever rod operated brakes and a dynohub lighting system. These bikes were designed to cope with cobblestones and unpaved footpaths. Often seen ridden by the...

Thanks Luke I spent some time pondering over fancy drilled brackets etc. then decided keep it simple less is more and all that. The mounts are just some hollow tubes welded on with a captive nut for the mudgaurd securing bolts.

Hi Well spotted!.Yep it all clears.. just. I built it up and and a few test rides, the right hand rear dropout has a step to allow for chain clearance also the right hand seat stay is slightly wider from the centre line than the left. IMG_2779 by Clannagh, on Flickr
