My 1976 Raleigh Tourist DL-1

Before and after restoration of my 1976 DL-1:


And here is how it is outfitted today:


It is mostly stock with a few upgrades:
- New bearings and lube
- New Schwalbe Delta Cruiser Cream Tires (and tubes and rim tape)
- New Brooks B66 Honey Saddle (the old B66 went onto my 1976 Raleigh Sprite)
- New Sunlite 16" Frame Pump
- NOS Sturmey Archer Shifter
- Rivendell Portuguese Cork Grips finished with Amber Shellac
- 'Upgraded' the plastic fulcrum sleeve and cable pulley to the older metal versions
- Black Acorn roll bag (which is actually full of tools)
- New Fibrax brake pads.
- New Black Izumi Chain (original chain broke on my first ride and shortening wasn't an option)
- Used Raleigh Pedals (from a 1978 Raleigh Sports)
- 22-Tooth Sturmey Archer Rear Sprocket
- SOMA Torpedo 1-Watt LED headlamp and headlamp bracket clamp
- Crane Suzu Brass Bell
- Catseye Aluminum Fender Reflector (NOS)

Lovely Bicycle's Customized DL-1 "Velouria"

After:


The cream tires, full chaincase, skirtguard, and Brooks B18 saddle really set this DL-1 apart. The idea of putting the Schwalbe Delta Cruiser Cream tires on my DL-1 came from seeing this bike. Lovely bicycle indeed!
