    I've had a lovely afternoon watching another of your overhaul videos which I find so very therapeutic that I tend to watch them through then just replay them in the background and listen whilst doing something else.... This is a wonderful cycle - I'm a real lover of the Raleigh roadster type cycles with the enclosed chain and dynohub and watch every one you do. Thankyou so very much for sharing

    What a truly lovely bike. If you're not as long of leg as Rowan, this would be such a great Raleigh to own. It holds itself so well.

      Everyone should have exactly that. You won’t regret it and you will be surprised at its ease and versatility.

      I’m sure it will look great in your shed😊

    This has come out really well. I think this is my favourite of the Raleigh colour range.
    Perhaps it is just as well that it is too small for you 😄

      I’m old enough to remember when they were utter rubbish! Nowadays they are getting really good, if you get a decent brand.

    Hi Rowan, lovely bike this one, I was particularly interested in this one because of the maroon colour, is this plain maroon or slightly metallic, I’m doing a 57 Rudge sports which seems a similar colour but very faded metallic?

    • @Velocipedium

      The Rudge will be metallic if it’s a Sports or Ulster. This bike is solid maroon, like the non-sports Rudges.

      Cheers Rowan, I’ve discovered Holts HDREM07 deep red metallic is as near as I’m going to get, trouble is these bikes tend to age in different shades in different places!

      Yes especially the mudguards which were rarely primed, whereas the frame was painted over a black undercoat. The top tube paint wears through. All due to lack of primer and lacquer. Substandard
