Nos bomber

[Raleighmad]

Well as most of you know i brought the nos grifter of Sega so today i went and collected another nos bike from him these 2 bikes have been in storage together for the past 30 odd years and after just over a week apart i can now say they are back together where they belong, these are the results so far after giving it a spray with wd40 to loosen all the dust of the chrome etc and very fine wire wool and a damp cloth for the frame etc this is the end result so far,i will give it a more intense clean time permitting

Lovely MK1, bit rich for me though

Hi Raleighmad. That's amazing how nicely the bike cleaned up

The last 2 pictures are really interesting as they seem to be an indication of every part no. used on the bike. The 1st of the pics is quite obvious frame/fork/back stay but the 2nd one is a bit harder to decipher. Chain/inner tubes/tyres?

Do you have a full picture of the tag? as I think the part no.s could be very useful. I'm about to try and build a Bomber from the frame up

That looks fantastic,

I am trying to find a NOS or mint 3 speed Bomber myself, but not having much luck, I had one back in 1983 when I was just 12 years old and would so like another.

Thanks for sharing your pictures

I often pop in to look at these pics as I'm assembling a single-speed Bomber just now.

Just noticed the LH rear axle nut seems to have a nice black cover on it to hide the bare axle ends. Wonder if you can still get them.

Also. I can't quite tell from the pics but the bike doesn't seem to have chain-tugs on it.

Lovely bikes. I'm quite stunned that you got them back to original looking state. The first pictures look like it was passed NOS.

Edit. It does have chain tugs. Didn't notice them at first as they are so clean )
