2005 Cirque Du Cyclisme - Saturday Morning Ride

Images by Chris Kostman / AdventureCORPS.com, April 30, 2005: The hands and 1971 Raleigh International of Paul Raley. The bike was inspired by a beautiful black Alex Singer that Paul had printed pics of a few years ago. The paint is black Dupont Chromabase with their 2K Chromaclear top coat sprayed in Paul's dusty garage. The boxlining was applied with a Bugler striping tool and thinner soaked rag to square the corners (and wipe off some particularly wavy attempts!). The downtube decal came from Lloyds. Paul suspects that it is a '20's Raleigh motorcycle gas tank decal although it is not labeled in Nick's list as such. The bike is equipped with Cinelli bars and stem, Mavic Racer brakes, SC 58 rims, Campy triple, Honjo fenders, and generator lights with internal wiring.
