RE: From rust bucket to vintage dream
Thanks @ericvancewalton. I really want a vintage bike for me to cruise around on. I have seen quite a few new replicas for sale lately but I think the real deal would be fun. Just had to google '59 Raleigh - nice !
You're welcome! I found mine on Craiglist for a real bargain. It took a lot of elbow grease to get it back into shape but it was a fun project. The Raleigh Sports and Superbe models are really solid bikes, built probably better than anything you could get today at any price. It's fun too because there's a huge online community of vintage Raleigh enthusiasts who are more than happy to answer questions and even share spare parts.
This is my '59 Sports
