This will be a frame build up , i got the frame from Rodger at billing,it is a mark 2 frame in as the name implies a darkish red but it is carrying the livery of a mark 1.

I have also bought some shinies and will build it as and when new parts are found , i have a pair of nos mk2 bars and a rechromed heron badge a half decent front wheel and a set of redlines on order.

How many projects you got on the go now then steve, we are still waiting to see baby blue, the halloween project and some of your others...
We do pick on you don't we,  he he

baby blue was at brooklands , have a peek at the brooky photos and that is about 800 on the go at the moment lol .

Yay i have a day off and i can play grifters .....right i have removed the frame from the back of the car where she has been since Billing ,and i have stripped down the fork set that i got from swelrose , i have "borrowed"a set of bearing caps from a donor frame and so have all the bits i need to begin the build , the sun is shining and the radio is on could i ask for anything more .

iI have taken photos of the relevant proccesses and i will post these as and when sam gets time  

Well the headset is now in place , complete with new bearings and a rechromed heron badge , i have fitted the front forks and i have found a nice rear wheel so its all there or there abouts , sweet    

sounds like you enjoyed your day off work steve, time well spent.

looking forward to the pics.

the bars are in , the front mudguard and front brake assembly has been fitted and she looks the bowlocks ROG I NEED THE TYRES MUST HAVE TYRES LOL

can we expect pictures soon steve? ?

does the pope crap in the woods

I have been having a think about this one and i might give it some toys , i am going to fit an mp4 player , complete with cruising tracks such as anything by queen .

I am also tempted to fit her with a speedo just so i can see how pathetically slow i am going when ever i ride her and a set od semi slick tyres to ensure a silky smooth ride whilst listening to the aforementioned music , what do you think ?

she will be fitted with a mobile phone holder obviously

sounds hi tec, a nice mix of old and new, why not ditch the mp4 for a good old walkman ?

was going to fit an Mp4 player to a bike.  But my white player only lasts for 15 minutes on a charge.  Might see if I can fit a dynamo to the USB wire.
Then maybe rip an old stereo for its amp.
Was going to fit a phone holder.  Raleigh sold one.  But my phones a flip phone.  With buttons on the side.  So wont fit in holder.

i have got a sony walkman that i and increasingly my daughter use at home

I went out for a short ride today into town on my grifter and i popped into the local raleigh dealership on the way home to price up a set of redlines for project rouge and they are a tenner each , i nearly shat myself , didnt think they were that much so i looked at tinternet and there is about a quid difference.  

I have won a set of supergrips from cycling simon on e bay so i will be fitting them to keep her semi original

These are going to be fitted tommorow
