1983 Raleigh Olympian Restoration

A new project has come through my door. It’s been many months coming but with the assistance of our local ride crew I found a bike for my friend. As of now it just looks like an old road bike. The plans are to make it look like an old road bike, but clean. Aside from that it might get a fresh set of decals and some contrast paint on the lugs.

To do list:

  1. Clean All The Parts!!!1
  2. New tires/tubes/rim strips
  3. Fresh bar tape
  4. New (old stock) brake levers
  5. Paint lug edges (maybe)
  6. Fresh decals (maybe)
  7. New chain
  8. New saddle
  9. Handlebar bag
