I don't think the fender would fit with reversed drop outs. It's been a few years since I had the same bike and fork. It was more.form over function though. You can give it a try if you'd like, but I agree that the bike is more tasteful as it sits. Why mess with a good thing? I'm considering...

Well done. I totally dig the chain guard and rack swap. The shapes and added color are a perfect break from the chrome and add alot of character. What are your thoughts on reversing the fork dropouts?

TRM saves the thread jacking! Matti, My feeble attempt with pronunciation was based in old French. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/je ne sais quoi Oddyob, Hue bonita Senora Heywood. No problema. Now returning to regular programming.

TOASTED & BUTTERED

WOW! I was just thinking of you as I was surfing the Show Me Yours thread, as well as others that you started in days gone by. Welcome back. I hope you stick around awhile.

It might just cause a case of Greenish Envy.:D

The same bike that hot me hooked(+ this forum) Mine had green under the same red overcoat. It's funny how quickly we get ideas after buying. In the first picture is that your Thumb Thom?:giggle:

Raleigh Butcher's Bike. Like I need more bikes, but have an issue with unique old frames. I just can't stop myself. Raleigh Rodeo. Toasted seat and shifter replaced. I reached out to a muscle bike listing on Kijiji to see if he had Xtra parts. He had the shifter, I had the original mounting...
