nimbus 508

[griftergli]

rescued this non-raleigh "halfords nimbus 508" from a skip quite some time ago and have finally pretty much finished its restoration. it was pretty much a heap of rust but looks quite nice and clean now...

before and after








apart from upgrading to 3 speed (shimano 333) i managed to use all the original parts it came with except for the seat which was very kindly donated free of charge by carter - thank you very much once again mate!!! ;D ;D ;D

anyways - beautiful blue skies and sunshine today so sacrificied a bit of grifting time for a bit of nimbus time!
