Just bought a Raleigh Three-Speed in lawn ornament condition.

I had one of these when they were new. I rode it into the ground. Now I get to resurrect one. It's karma I tell ya.



It's already coming apart and going together. The only part that worries me is the horrid rust on the rims. The rest of the rust is coming off. The good news is that Sun makes rims in this size. Aluminium ooh, lighter, faster, can actually stop in the rain!
 
raleigh is a very good bike. i got a 68' superbee that im gonna pull from storage and start working on this winter (for with my shop, it will be winter of the 3speeds). good move going with aluminum rims.
