The seat stem and handlebar stem are very similar to the Harry Quinn racer I owned in the 80s that was used professionally prior. Unfortunately, I had to dump it as I was between places in the 90s. Miss that bike 😢.
Wow good job, that came out amazing. Did the rust just sand off or did you have to do something else to treat it? Also how did you restore the head badge or did you just replace it with a new one?
I watched this with the volume off...the music is distracting from enjoying the video.. It didn't show how the h adbadge was removed. Didn't show how stickers were put on But nice turn out.
+Alex Garner I use a epoxy paint with a spray gun.it is a long process but first I use a etch primer, one coat then sand 1200 grit wet and dry sand paper.put one more fine coat of primer and let dry for one day or so.then I mix the paint with thinners and apply a dust coat .this is a very fine coat that should look like dust over the area and once that has started to dry I apply more coats very lightly every hour and about three coats.this will give a very high gloss but will take about 3-4 days to dry.Hope that helps

That really isn't a restoration.
Yeah it is
Surely, its a resto-mod which explains itself. Fabulous job. Thinking of the same resto-mod on my Lenton Sports.
man can i ask whats the model of your frame?

BRASSO POLISH
Great bike. I just picked up vintage Raleigh. Could you tell me where you got the decals made?
+Toxteth O'Grady Hi Mate, they have a good selection on ebay.
this bike turned out awesome! how did you re attach the head to badge?
dave hale I carefully drilled the riveting and tapped the holes and fitted 1/8 stainless scews
Bike looks great can I ask what paint you used and the process?
I am also interested in the painting process
+Alex Garner I use a epoxy paint with a spray gun.it is a long process but first I use a etch primer, one coat then sand 1200 grit wet and dry sand paper.put one more fine coat of primer and let dry for one day or so.then I mix the paint with thinners and apply a dust coat .this is a very fine coat that should look like dust over the area and once that has started to dry I apply more coats very lightly every hour and about three coats.this will give a very high gloss but will take about 3-4 days to dry.Hope that helps
great job! could you give me the model of the stickers please? I need for my bicycle. Thank you!
Hi , I did this bike a while ago but i remember getting the decals from ebay
Did you print them? Or did you buy them in print?
I purchased then pre-printed .
Hated working for Raleigh because the tight gits wouldn't pay for your travelling expenses.
Great Job
