Garage Find: Schwinn Continental and Raleigh Sovereign

Vicky brought me these two old bikes that were in her garage. They have the looks I always look for: horizontal top bar, old fashion forward thrusting fork, great original colors, cool little details, not too much rust... but they are not in working condition. Let's see what I can do to give them a second life.

1980s Raleigh Sovereign:


I'm going to try to fix them and make them look good using as many recycled parts as possible.
