Hi,

I think my previous intro got axed so here it comes again...

I'm in Ireland and my thing is old motorbikes. At the moment I'm restoring a 1924 Raleigh and it is going to need a lot of sheet work; of which I have little experience.

The current job is to make some beaded edges for the toolbox hence coming across this site - looking forward to learning more about this art.

Regards,

Jim

Pictures!!!! Post lot of pictures.

Personally, I thought the 20s was the best decades for motorcycles and British flat tanks were the best looking 20s bikes.

I am actually considering building a 1924 Raleigh from scratch using a modern-ish engine. Coolest looking flat tank, ever.

Thanks for the welcomes - That picture posted my dschumann is the same model that I am working on. A Model 5. I am almost ready to assemble except for the mudguards and toolbox which I need to make.

I'll put a project thread up where I can ask my questions. All input will be most welcome.
