Hehe okay then ^^ I'll see what I can find, can't hurt to have some spare parts.

Thank you, although I don't plan to be removing them again. It was merely a one off so i could spray the frame. And they came out relatively easy once I knew how, I just didn't know that they were pins and therefore didn't want to give them a good whack in case they were threaded all the way...

I have been considering it! Althought I realised earlier today that actually my regular modern road bike has quite a swoopy frame, the top bar isn't straight and with a but of clever wheel sizing and some mean hangers it might do the job. with a lick of paint and a crapload of accessorifications...

Have taken a look at the pins and they seem undamaged, there's no fresh metal shown where it's worn, the threads are intact and they fit back into the holes in the cranks without any apparent warping, he used a copper mallet, apparently that reduces chances of damaging the pins. I'll let you...

I'm afraid I don't recognise it, but it's something I've NEVER seen before in my life lol. It looks fantastic. I'm now considering inlaid marbles on my rat when i get around to it. Probably worth a few bucks on fleabay? Or worth keeping for yourself :P

Okay! Sorry to waste everyone's time but in desperation i threw the frame over my shoulder and walked a quartermile to the automechanic's in my village. He proceeded to take a larger hammer than mine and give them a good whack. Result? Two pins and crank arms removed and bike now ready to be...

I am a very new face to this forum, I joined because i was researching for the project i was on, and now i'm hooked on the idea of making my own rat. Prbolem is, i first need to sort this bike so i don't have two projects going at once. The problem: My 1980s Raleigh Caprice Ladies' Town bike is...

I've got a tonne of wood in my "workshop" also a lot of curtains. I'm definitely thinking of curtain seat upholstery and wooden accenting on my proper rat. but I have to sort the pretty one out for my girlfriend. You guys reckon you can make a sit up and beg town bike look mean with enough paint...

Thank you! I'll take a look, although I've got to go to work on it tomorrow as I'm running out of time before uni starts, I'm thinking about just wrapping everything i can't remove in masking tape and hoping for the best! I've been browsing this website for the past 3 hours or so... I HAVE to...

Hello everyone! My name is Eddie and I am soon to be a student in England. Recently my girlfriend decided she wanted a Pashley Poppy for her 18th birthday. She was rather upset when she realised that the bike cost £500-odd and that with whatever else her parents had bought her it'd just be far...
