Hello Folks, this is my first post in about a year and a half..................probably longer, anyway I finally got round to building something I thought worthy of the site, hope you like it.

cool bike nice stance. could we get some more info on the bike?

 

[kaiser]

well, it was a Raleigh bomber..........a tin of paint stripper,cheap springers, Bontrega Hanks, Brooks B73 and some kids cruiser bars later.............and that's what it looks like, although it now has some grips :?

Forgot to mention, I swapped the Raleigh chain ring for a BSA one................

[kaiser]

This one got stolen not long afer I posted it, so I built two others along the same lines in time for a show, and managed to pick up best tracker with the black one below..............and to top the weekend off, I recovered the original one on the tuesday, caught some toe rag on it and managed to get it back off him!

This Black one is again based on a Raleigh Bomber, but has had the plate welded in as a number plate..............still not got round to painting it..............it has a three speed coaster, laced into nice wide black rims with a cream stripe to match with the quick bricks, and has a lovely Triumph chain ring.

This Red one is basically the same, but only a single speed and with those dodgy forks!

I'm really diggin' the black one - wow!
Nice work on all - 8)

Some great looking bikes there. Must be fairly light too. I have a '64 Dunelt with a camelback frame. What mfg./year hub is the 3 speed?
