Very Cool !!!! I wish I would have built it !!!!
I know, I just might build one just like it... maybe in Copper?

Sweet ride...

I wouldn't change a thing. Ride well.

Cool Classic

I like the look. I would never take it out in the rain though...

I get happy just looking at this bike

makes me long for my old raleigh sport from back in the day.
so nice. congrats.

nice build

nice build

excellent. love the stem.

excellent. love the stem. and whatever you did to cover up the logos is very clean - I assume you didn't paint since the head tube and seat tube logos are still there... did you just tape? can't tell from the photos.

put some hammered honjo fenders and a brass stem bell on there.

Stay Classy Young Man

this is so cool

this is so cool

i love your ride.

you did a great job on that beast. i have an old light like that i have been wanting to put to use.... my gears are turning...

Brake Lever

I've been trying to find an all silver brake lever exactly like that. What brand and model is yours?

its probably..

an old dia compe or similar lever. they dont make anything like that any more. go to nearest LBS (or ebay) that handles used bikes/parts and ask to see the box of brake lever take offs. with any luck you can land one for -3. they look great (i have a few on my rides) but be warned they dont have barrel adjusters so they are a little harder to dial in.

Did that mounting bracket

Did that mounting bracket come off the Raleigh too?

ummm

so I pretty much look at this bike everyday, gorgeous.

thank you for making this.

i wish i would have seen it sooner because i'm building up something very similar and was trying to decide whether or not to use black rims or silver rims with the white vittorias. kinda wish i would have gotten black after seeing this, but the frame is going to be green so i guess silver is ok.

definitely one of my favorites on here. really great job.

yaaa

super classy ride

light!!/??
