Took the freshly rebuild Raleigh for a spin, rides nice for casual cruising
I used 29er wheels from a parted out bike, I removed the 7 speed rear cluster, removed the axle and replaced with a shorter axle (as the frame is originally a narrow width for single cog wheel) dished the wheel so its centered, the matching front wheel was disk hub so removed the rotor and dished the wheel to center it too, at the moment "braided cables" are the in thing at least in my mind, I just like them, chucked on a newish seat/post, bar/levers/grips, I put on a couple new chrome brake cable clips, replaced the BB with a better sealed BB, chucked on some old skinnies for tread, a couble old brake calipers and good to gone
