Scored at the flea market today. 10 speed Raleigh Record complete and original except for missing seat. Very little wear/use, still had the original Raleigh tires and tubes. Decal says made in Republic of Ireland. Dealer sticker dated 1973 and license sticker from 1976. Plan to keep stock/period...

LOL... Don't be too hard on him. I was like your friend. My first builds were truly terrible. And I still have a long way to go. Many builders on this site produce works of art that far surpass what I can do. :nod:

Greetings from Southern New Jersey. Very inspiring and informative forum. Also very much impressed by “No Definition Rule” of what a Rat Rod Bike is or should be. So I decided to stop lurking and join in on the fun. Been building for about 5 years now and enjoy every minute of it. My favorite...
