Those are the hands and work of Paul Raley, shade tree frame restorer (has a Hetchins painted to match his Jag), and the bike is his resprayed Raliegh International.
Rumor has it that the bike is the subject of the first episode of the new smash reality TV series, "Pimp my CR Ride". I know the Jersey Boyz were oo'in and aah'in over this machine all through the weekend. I believe all the cosmetic details sprang from Paul's fertile imagination, with no definite reference to any actual historical Raleighs, but Paul will no doubt fill us in on the inside scoop.

Among the many great bikes & frames, I was struck by the following Raleigh:

Can the owner or anyone provide info on this bike? The Raleigh logo font is new to me, and I hadn't seen box striping on a Raleigh before. Original paint?? In any case, it's a beauty!
oh.. thanks to Dale and everyone who made the event possible! Even from afar, it's provided plenty of entertainment and lust. :-)
