The Chaincase Arrived for the '52 Raleigh
I bought a chaincase off of British eBay. The seller said he had taken it off a 1950 Raleigh Sports and began sanding it before deciding to go for a "rat look" whatever that is.
It came with all the mounting hardware, which is a plus, given Raleigh's odd, proprietary threading.
This particular project is beginning to feel like something that will take a lot longer than I would like, particularly given that I work all day. I want to do a careful paint job on this case and on the few spots of the bike where there's rust. I need to keep repeating to myself that I'm not going to get it done in one Saturday afternoon. It will more likely be several Saturday afternoons to do it well. I always think things will take far less time than they do.
