Before





Here's the bike that I'll be starting with. It's a 24-1/2" Raleigh International that I bought from the original owner. The bike had been set up as a fixed gear and left to sit outside for a few years, as is evidenced by the corrosion. The frame itself is in excellent shape, and it still had it's original Campagnolo components on it. I was planing on restoring it back to it's former 10-Speed glory, but then I got inspired by Sly Red's Path Racer, Blackadder, and decided to do something different. The frame might be a little tall for me, but that's okay- they used to ride 'em tall back in the day.
