They looks lovely, I gotta get one with rod brakes
 
Thats a really neat looking bike, any more pics?
 
In 1997 I bought this Raleigh, as an ATB with a Shiman Nexus-7. I bought it just for some parts to take to Cuba to complete a cruiser for use in Havana. The frame and other parts though, remained in Holland. It already wasn't a 'vintage' when I bought it and I did not try to bring it back to original.

Nice rides, That there bently is pretty neat. never seen a newer raleigh like that before.
Rusty raleigh i must make one. I have the perfect naturaly rusted frame but it's a ladys frame

Need any rim for those Spokes Reckless? Lol
 
Just finished my latest project, though it's not a Raleigh but similar style.. It's a Universal, which was covered in crappy 80's stickers, so I took them off, gave it all a polish and changed the seat/tyres/handlebars and added the light. Decided to leave the sticker on the front forks because they didn't look to bad and suited the rest of the bike well. Kinda like a lightning bolt.

From the side on the handle bars are parallel to the frame giving it a speedway look
