Raleigh Cameo

This is Ann Hamilton's roadster. It's in a bad way. Note how the pedals are out of line as a cotter pin has failed. She'd been coming in every so often for years getting small things done, and being told there's so much wrong with the bike it needs a complete overhaul. Eventually we got to do this.

We reduced it to a pile of bits, kept what was good and replaced the rest.

And here we are, ready for at least five years of service before that needs done again. New wheels, tyres, headset, ball bearings, cables and brake blocks.
