My bike was in need of a refresh! Originally found on Craigslist as a rasta taped road racer, my ‘77 Raleigh (I call him Desmond) now has more the air of the vintage English chap I know he is at his roots.

• Handlebars, levers and a tune up… via the awesome guys at Richmond Re-cycles
• Cork grips and tape… via Velo Orange
• Locker basket and military issue ammo pouch… vintage via local thrift shops
• And thanks to Rivendell Bicycle Works for drool-worthy cruiser inspiration

Okay, I didn’t ACTUALLY* see this, but my sister did and promptly sent me photographic evidence.

*if I saw an armadillo in Richmond I’d be freaking out, not blogging about it.
