COMMUTER CHECK

Shortly before moving down to Van my girlfriend and I restored this old Raleigh ladies bike for her to use as her transport for the streets of Vancouver.
We pulled the bike out of a near by garden in Kelowna. The people who owned it were using it as a ornament and letting it rust away. It was originally green and rusty and almost every moving part was seized.
Striping it down we found that it was still in pretty good shape and definitely salvageable. After about 3 months of painting, polishing and lots of trips down to Kelowna Cycle to bug Shane and Mike for probably the cheapest bike parts that they sell, she was rolling in glory.
