Swap Meet find

[bean]

Picked this up yesterday at a local Swap for $80AU (approx $65US)....They retail for around $800 here. Alloy frame Raleigh Retroglide with Nexus 4 speed. Every steel/chrome part is/was rusty.....I'd guess this really was used as a beach cruiser . The Nexus worked great after a good WD40 bath. I also had to cut off the fenders and front brake as they were rusted too much to save. I'm thinking about doing a 700c wheel build with this.
