Which bike did you buy?
An old Raleigh?
Those are nice bikes!
It was!!!
The best $150 I ever spent. Looking back, I would have happily spent $200/250. That bike made me so happy.

The paint and finish on those were excellent!
Most of them had campagnolo parts, too!

Keep updating your bike story, I'll reminces through you.

Of course.
The parts take time to clean and rebuild though.
One piece at a time, and eventually it will be finished.
I rode it without the brakes the other day, it is fast.
Turns on a dime!

If it brings you happiness, just do it. I didn't have a Manuel, like you. So you could potentially still get parts.
Lots of people just look at their phones all day. Be odd

I dont have a manual either.
That was just a guide for rebuilding the bearings on the pedal assembly.
I will have to adjust the gears and everything, l will have to learn how to do that.
And wrapping the handlebars, l hope l can do it correctly the first time because the handlebar tape l buy will be vintage.
