The Nuvolari is done.

Figured since it's basically finished I'd give it a fresh thread,

It's actually a 1977 Raleigh Super Grand Prix but I figured I'd have some fun with it.

Started with this,



And this is how it sits today, HUGE thanks to O2designs for the lettering, all other work done in my garage by me.

White bikes are gross.

Other then that it's sweet Steve. Good color choice. Lol

You're lucky you're sixty miles away from here

So anyways, about that bare spot on the seat tube?

Looks like a sweet ride.

Great job on the refurb! There was some time spent on that.
Dont' ride that to work....that Audi name might give you your walking papers

Nuvolari? < Raleigh

Um, It's not named after an Audi

It's named after arguably the greatest racing driver in history,

"Corsa Tartaruga" roughly translates to "Racing Tortoise"

I don't know if the Nuvolari name stuck or not for the Quattro. It must not have. That's cool that there was a racer named Nuvolari.....all this time I thought it was just a word! A word a haven't seen in a long, long time.

The bike really does look nice. Love the racing tortoise reference.
