    Faux retro pedals

    Usually the threads on the ends of the bolts are peened after the nuts are installed. Were you able to remove the nuts without ruining the threads ? Then , after reassembly , how did you keep the nuts from coming off?

    Raleigh English Racer

    Cool add to the fleet. Back in the 50s' I rode one too. We called them English Racers. Today would be Distinguished Gentleman's Ride . Doubt that you would find any Tweed Rides in the New Abnormal ! If there is a date stamped on the rear hub shell, it could also date the bike.

    ... clean grease and grime off of hands.

    Interesting tip. A long time ago I was told that if you first applied cold cream to your hands, before work, it would fill the pores of your skin. That would keep the grease and grime on the surface, making it easy to clean.

    Just got a deal on some reflectors.

    If your camera has flash, it would be interesting to spread those about in a totally dark room , and take a picture.

    Cut or bend Kick stand?

    I am curious to know more about the replacement kickstand. I have not been able to find one. Are you modifying the leg from a clamp on kickstand ? They are not the same as the Schwinn ,
