The white walls came in on Monday so I decided to get some work done.

Project number three
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Introducing Melissa’s new (sorta) bike: a ~’72 Raleigh Sports woman’s bike with a 3-speed rear hub. I surprised her with it last week and she instantly fell in love. The original paint and decals/emblems still look but could use a little polishing. About 98% of the parts are original with the only two exceptions being the seat and the front tire. The parts I’ve picked up so far this project are: a new chain, tube, rim tape, brake cable, and a cute hamburger bell. A fresh set of 1 3/8″ white walls are in the mail and I’m hoping to order a more period-spec saddle soon… maybe a Brooks?
Keep an eye on my blog for more updates on this project, along with my other projects that I’ve yet to really touch on.
