That was fun! Met my wonderful wife of 47 years now when I was working as a bicycle shop mechanic. Her sister and brother-in-law bought her a Miyata for her birthday, when she came back with it for the 2-week tune-up, it was love at first sight, and it still is!

Love these old Raleigh restorations... in the 70s / 80s they were real "parts bin specials", no concept of a "groupset"... my 82 Europa Team TI replica came with Raleigh / SR crankset bars and stem, Campag rear derailleur, SunRace front Derailleur, Shimano shifters, Weinmann brakes, SunTour freewheel block (14-24), and (probably) Maillard hubs with chrome steel rims. I upgraded to a Campag front mech and Campag hubs with Mavic MA40 rims (and new brake blocks for alloy rims) and it's a fabulous ride !

What I really like about this is that you cleaned and polished/protected the original frame. So much better than respraying and trying to make a classic bike look like new. It looks like what it is ... a lovingly and respectfully restored bike.

Bikespeeds….The best on KZfaq no question.Awesome work as always.🙏A measure to watch. Not had A Racer since my Puch free spirit 10speed that both myself and my brother had 1 each brand new when I was about 13yrs old in 1978 with the Gear Shifter handles on the handlebars which was different so this one is good to see. Then Skateboards took over and god knows what happened to mine and my brothers bikes🤷‍♂️ Weird as you get older you wish you had kept just about everything you remember fondly growing up.I remember also having a Carlton 10Speed Racer that I put Cow Horn Handlebars on and ruining a good bike just so I could do wheelies and conform to what all my mates did with their bikes.

This looks so good, normally gold chains look naff on bikes but given the manufacturers colour scheme it really ties the whole bike together. I don't normally gush over older bikes but I would cherish this if it was mine.

I had one of these for years and years! Loved it! I wish you'd put rust converter on though. It would've made the rust turn black and blend in better.

Wonderful to see an older Raletgh come back to life. When I was in school in the mid 1970's I worked at a Raleigh shop here in the States for two summers. I owned a Super Course and then an International. The owner of the shop was able to get a MKM (Metcalfe) frame for me and most of the parts from the International went over to it. Great times.

When will people stop confusing restorations with rebuilds or reconditions? This was not restored. For example; what point is there in putting new bearings in a rusted and pitted headset? Waste of brand new bearings.
