- Hanworth, Middx.
A picked up a '70s Raleigh Merlin for 20 quid a couple of months ago with a view to making a 'popping down the shop bike'.
It was stripped for paint, I didn't go too mad with prep, just enough. Rattle can paint job and a bit of lug lining then put it back together.
I had some North Road handle bars in the garage and also found some NOS Weinmann brake blocks. The front rack was bought online as were the mudguards and a mate gave me the wicker basket. The handlebar grips arrived today to match the Brooks saddle.
