I've seen them perform live. Like a rockabilly revival, the big upright bass was literally flying through the air! He threw it up what seemed like 8 feet, caught it, and got back to slapping it!
The Reverend is the man live.
That's already a beautiful bike. Enjoy!
Not much progress but not to worried about it have it all in my head. Recovering the the seat in red and white leather rear fender coming off and hopefully finding a 24 inch skinny tire.
I see a toolbox in the background. But what tools are out?
The big adjustable wrench and a claw hammer!
I thought only us farmboys down here in the midwest did that...

I have stuff all over my yard. I'm a little behind on this build. Actually on all my builds at the moment I have third degree caustic on my foot and legs just started getting around

I do have the the tools honestly just sometimes the adjustable is just handy I can loosen the top nut and hit it with it or I've misplaced my 15 mm wrench and that's the only tool I never loose. I have new footwear I think she threw out the leperard print crocs
Haven't forgotten about the rocket was just gathering some parts
Got the whitewalls
Sturmey archer grib shift to turn into a stick. These old ones work really well for that
Replacement brakes for those silly Raleigh self adjusting brakes.there solution for a problem nobody knew they had. There ugly and never really worked that great.

I had intended to do one thing with this bike then my kid wanted to do something else. So he wins. We both agreed the Raleigh bomber is really cool but good luck finding one
So we're going to do the best we can.

First thing to go is the Raleigh headset because of the threading replaced with a tange so now I can use any fork I want.
He gets the SE landing gear fork with the freaks sticker because dad got over excited on a great deal and forgot to ask if it was ever cut well it was.
Rear rim has a Sturmey archer 3 speed with coaster, and the front well won't be staying off to look for some nice 26x1.75 or 1.95 which ever will fit.

If you wanna try a 26x1.75, I have a brand new pair of bell Inova out in the garage that you can use, tread pattern similar to this:
