My SS 1978 Raleigh Super GS is done!

It took longer than I wanted, but it was my first time doing a build. To me, it turned out better than I initially imagined. Please give me your input. Hope you like it

Thanks fellas. I decided it was best to leave the frame untouched, so I just tried to pick up the gold lettering with the chain & pedals. The brakes came off my Allez, and had the brackets powder coated black. Used white tubing to go along with the tires and seat. I think I'll try and fix up my Bianchi fixie next, but much more subtle. Thanks again for the compliments.

Nice job, looks great. Though I have to admit I don't undrstand the fascination with single speed bikes. I left those behind in the early sixties and never looked back.
