Finished my Raleigh conversion.
#1
this is the bike, originally a 10 speed), that had the bent forks and no wheels after I used them for another project.  i changed the 27" wheels to 26" wheels I had in the parts bin that have a 3 speed shimano hub. i put new 26" forks on the front with a new headset kit. new brakes, new brake levers, new brake cables, new deraileur cable, new grips, different handle bars and a new chain. removed the second chain ring too.
here some pics. if you tap the pic I hope you see a slide show. there should be 4 pics of this bike and 1 of anothervI did. lmk if it works?
