hi all,
i have picked up a really nice imho raleigh racer. its straight as, the paint
work is not too bad, but i have been thinking about re-doing it.
i just have a couple of questions that i don't know what can/to do
about if i was to repaint it.
the head badge is in great condition but i have no idea how it is attatched
to the frame. most other headbadges, raleigh's anyway, that i have seen
have been pot riveted to the frame. this one obviously isn't so how is it attached?
and how easy would it be to re-attach it. i would rather remove
it during the repainting process, then reattach after.
the other confusion for me is the cable guides under the BB. the guide does
seem to be riveted ??? would this be right? is it easy to remove and then
re-attached? or can it be replaced after the re-paint with a new guide?
you can also see in the image below where the bottom tube is missing a
full strip of paint. it seems as though the frame was first sprayed a solid
white colour then on the "points" oversprayed with a red
heres the BB cable guides
here is the ebay image of the bike
any help would be really appreciated

The BB cable guide will just pop out. There is a hole in the BB about 7mm and the plastic guide clicks into place.
Nice bike!

The headbadge Ukalipt. Just a thought, can you drop the fork and look for attachments inside the headtube? Maybe it's a pressfit like pre glue auto badges

it was a sydney pick up and the auction ended 1st of june.
all details here. i just want to retape the bars before i do a proper photo shoot of him.
for the price i paid i still think it was a complete bargin. as i said before, i just had to have the wheels trued up and new tires.
