Finally got my hands on the heirloom Raleigh, far too late for my liking as its been carelessly stored against my advice in a damp shed. Its circa 1924, possibly a model 2 or 5, sadly when my great uncle had it it was in pretty decent condition with no signs of rust and good nickel plating. Im in a quandary as to what to do with it but for now I will give it a good clean and spray it liberally in acf50

Oily rag it and run it, how about the Brighton, is it eligable?

Thats my thoughts Bryan, do you remember them when they first came out😉 excuse my ignorance, the Brighton?

Interesting old Raleigh, my mate had a Cycle master that he used to commute to work.
I too would be looking at an oily rag job.
My mate did an oily rag restoration on a 1960s Ariel Leader. He sold it at a big loss, he didn't keep it as it was too slow with poor brakes, he owned one in the 1970s. Nostalgic memories eh.

He later upgrades to the Runabout model.
