Man, that looks great!
I really like the way Raleigh cuts their peacock(?) logo shape into their front sprockets.

Nice work!

peacock(?)

I think it's a Heron.
I agree they are cool. Got one hanging on the parts wall for a future project. Just wish I'd saved the rest of the bike.

Re: Outlaws Superbe B/T done

well i needed a road bike, so i changed the superbe out. the bike weight in at about 35 lbs. i liked riding it but i wanted something lighter and faster, sooo this is what i did to it. it now weights in at 25#s and it rides even better then before. the rims i drilled holes in them and got some red tape to wrap the rims in so when ya look you can see the red i think it looks pretty kool. i need to get some nicer brake handles for it. so here is the new Superbe.

also have to get some new grips too. well hope ya all like the new look.

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

you gotta love old raleighs. i have a 68' superbee 3speed myself, all original, working but i wish i could replace it's 26x1 3/8 skinny tires with fatties. i have those exact same tires on my 59' amf cruiser, but in blackwall (nice tires). this decides it, i got a diamond frame 90' huffy stone mountain bike that i converted into a single speed. think i will either make a bomber out of it or a fastback/low rider. winter is a good time for these types of things. love the bike and i bet it rides like silk.

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

thanks. yeah this bike rides good either way.at work i get to ride alot of different bike, all the latest stuff, carbon roadies and they are all nice but when i get on this bike i just wonder why, this bike is so sweet and i bet i don't even have $75.00 in it. now that it has gone on a diet and the gearing i have in it, yes i can out spin it but man this bike is fast. big hills well i got to walk em but hey i am old and need that type of excerize too.lol

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

roadmaster, those rims are from a 26 mtb. alum. i just painted em and put on those 1.25 tires. when the bike was a B/T i also had a set of 26 rims from a mtb and put those red brick fatties on it. i don't like the original rims that come with these bikes. to hard to find tires for em, so i use 26 mtb alum. rims. works real good and they are way liter.

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

this bike ain't done yet. am putting on a carbon 700 front fork. will go to 700 rims. if i get a 36 hole 700 rim i'll put a 3 speed or a 2 speed kick back in it with a coaster brake. if i had a 3speed coaster brake i would use that. will post pic's when i start changing things around.

............yeah the seat............ :shock:

I can't get used to it just looking at it.

Nice job on the build, you took this Superbe and made a superb roadbike. I've got a few Raleighs that I'll have to dig out of the bone yard and give a closer look at .

Re: Outlaws Superbe turned roadbike

the first seat i had on it is really nice, and it did take a little to get used too. i now have a road bike seat and like it alot. that spring seat will go on something else. yeah, take a look at those bikes. i really like riding this bike, it's really sweet.

well i said good bye to my fav bike today. one of the kids who works at the shop wanted it bad so i said yes. thats ok tho, this guy races pro and wanted to train on when he's not in camp. so it will get alot of good use. i will miss that bike.
