Well the frame formerly known as a Raleigh Lenton showed up today, and its a sad case. Of course the seller did not entirely represent the condition accurately, so lets hope that Tamara at Wildframe (www.wildframe.com - check it out) can set this poor thing to rights. Someone jammed a slightly too large seatpost in it.
It also comes with a Bridgestone fork - stylin! Which is not necessarily bad, considering the evil things I have planned for it.
At some point it got painted with a paint brush.
It still has a really pretty headbadge though, and the cool little oiler on the bottom bracket, is well, cool!
Its a project.
Maybe I should have just bought one of those aluminum clone hybrid Raleigh my shop sells instead of trying to save this one?
