bit of a wierd one, since i haven't actually bought the bike yet! (and maybe won't!) but i have seen a boys raleigh chicco hanging from the rafters of an antique/collectors shop here in southsea. probably wants too much for it, but i reckon the frame is a dead ringer for a mini bomber. sorry, can't find any pics online, but its candy yellow with candy red 'guards and white 20x 1 3/8 tyres.
with a set of grifter forks and wheels, along with some gumwalls and semi risers do you think this would be a worthwhile project?

I've done that to one I got at Billing this year, Red vinyl banana seat and some apes......lost the rear wheel in favour of a 20 x 1.75 square slick with a coaster laced in.....it's just about big enough to ride now..

I'll try and dig it out later and get a photo.........
It's a bit of a rust bucket, but that's the way I like them......I think in total, the bike, the seat, sissy bar, rear wheel and the square slick, it cost about £30...............

budget builds, i love em. the seat and sissy i was looking at were more than this- oh and i just bought a huffy... this can go in the "for a rainy day" pile.
