Latest video: My Childhood Dream Bike Build
My Childhood Dream Bike Build My very first race bike was the Raleigh Team cadet with the aerospace aero 18-23 tubing painted in the iconic Panasonic colours. This was the lowest level model available and was the maximum I could squeeze out of my parents for Christmas. I remember being obsessed with the Raleigh Team Corsa which was the next level up which had Reynolds 501 tubing and the Shimano Gold Arrow groupset which later became better known as the Shimano 105. The first restoration we did on the channel was that exact model and is what got me hooked on restoring bicycles. After investing a lot of my time reading old Raleigh brochures I noticed the frame only section which had the Raleigh Gran Course frame in Reynolds 531c tubing in my favourite colour scheme, the Panasonic team colours. You can imagine my excitement when one came up for sale in immaculate condition, I had to have it. Not knowing exactly how I was going to build the frame up, it sat gathering dust for a while. For some time now I’d been having some trouble with modern groupset’s with numerous chain snaps. My confidence had completely gone. After riding a retro Italian Rossin bicycle for some time with no issues I decided Id build the Raleigh frame up with the same nine speed Campagnolo groupset. I set about finding new old stock to complete the build. I used Pete Matthews, the master wheel builder to build not one but two sets of wheels up. After the build the bike is taken out and put through its paces. This really is one bicycle staying in my collection and will be used regularly. Absolutely made up with this dream road bike build.
CERA Cycloan Collaboration
We have recently collaborated with CERA Cycloan to bring you more great Bicycle restorations. CERA Cycloan provide alternative education through bicycle maintenance and repair. Bicycles are donated to the organisation which are recycled and restored providing a great learning platform, this process gives a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Courses include cycle maintenance, business acumen, and personal development. Learners work closely with positive role models in an informal way, which in turn builds positive relationships to identify any barriers and build self belief and confidence.
Students receive practical training in a live cycle shop and workshop to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to gain employment in the cycle trade, or they can use their completed portfolio as evidence of achievement to access further education courses.
Not only does CERA Cycloan offer alternative educational provisions they also get involved in community projects supporting and raising funds charities and organise FREE bike rides.
CERA Cyclone really do take the benefits of Cycling to a whole new level. To visit the Cycloan team and find out more Click Here
