Raleigh Bomber

[Whatsup!]

Hi All

 

I have accepted a challenge from a work colleague to help "service" an old Raleigh Bomber 5 speed.

Upon deliver, I would like to extend it to more of a restoration project. I full strip and rebuild. The bike is in pretty bad shape from sitting for years and not been services etc.

 

I will post some pictures as I go, if anyone is interested. 

 

The biggest challenge I have, is my lack of tools for older bikes. 

:

Would anyone be able to assist in lending me the following tools, which are pretty standard for any old English bicycles from what I understand.

 

1) 2 notch freehub tool - Park tool FR 2

2) Park tool HCW-11 . From some searching on the interweb, I may be able to get away with an adjustable spanner, but would prefer using the correct tool if possible, to avoid any potential damage.

 

I have looked at making a 2 notch tool, by grinding down an old socket spanner. Again, would prefer the original tool if possible.

 

If I cant do it myself, then I will take it to a bike shop to assist with these two components. But I prefer the challenge of doing it myself. 

 

I am happy to compensate in beer.

 

PS, I am in the Milnerton area
