Enjoyed my Christmas break and have been industrious Found another (better) Lugged GP and spent a little time on it, even tried my hand at re-leathering a tatty saddle (don't worry, repaired and kept the old pattern) Before and after shown and took advice for Panaracers off robt, thank you link to photo's Lugged GP II |

That's a really lovely job you've done there. Chapeau!
Is that a new headset, or have you cleaned up the original?
Do you know if your fork crown race is ISO (26.4mm) or JIS (27.00mm)? I'm struggling to get a good fit onto my A/S Sport fork crown, which seems to be an elliptical ISO/JIS hybrid!

Original headset cleaned up 15 Bearings held in brace but didn't measure (apologies) The head race in the tulsa gl were loose bearings; is this a possible way forward for you? |

Show us the Raleigh restorations in the "other bikes" section when you're done - I used to have a Carlton and a Raleigh Royal back in the '70s and '80s, and I picked up a 1984 Royal for Mrs D last year.
