Title: Garden shed find!!
Post by: Mikku on September 02, 2015, 06:02 PM: Well not so much of a find, but my friend had just dug this out of his parent's shed - his Raleigh Extra Burner from bitd! Still got the shop sticker on it too.

Nothing high-end or particularly desirable I know, but a nice little father and son project that should keep them busy for a while! :daumenhoch:

That flat spot on the front rim will take some sorting though!

Post by: Mikku on September 03, 2015, 11:49 AM: I hadn't noticed that! ;D

His son thinks it'll be a quick turnaround but I reckon it's going to take them a lot longer! :daumenhoch:

Good investigative work too Andy. :daumenhoch:
