Dead Reckoning - '81 Raleigh R10

[CRASH]

I bought this as a parts bike, then decided to restore it rather than pull it apart.

Where it started.

Dead Reckoning

The problem with finding a decent donor bike is that I now find myself wanting to bring it back to life, vice trashing it. Apparently it's got some historical BMX value, so I reckon I'm going to bring it back from the dead.

Great job on color choices and overall restoration. I love dual purpose usefulness and your kickstand fits that bill well. Good job.
