Bike rebuild


Am planning a rebuild of my mid-80's Raleigh Capri which will include sanding and painting the frame and converting it to a single speed with bigger tires for winter riding. I want it to look good but also be a learning experience.

I wanted to have something to show how CCR has driven me to ride more and this is the best way I know. My own unofficial CCR bike.

    You go, Mike. Can't wait to see the result. Who's going to handle the paint for you?

    I am going to attempt it myself. The gradient scares me, but, I love that look. I want to do it all myself. Lettering will be decals.

    Joe is a painter. He may provide some insight for the prep and paint.
