Ha ha - nice one man. I've been slowly building up the parts to do this myself for the last eighteen months (finally found the white seat band a month or two back), and am so glad to have found this today to keep me inspired with the project. I've also added a seat tube with suspension, so will be a floating seat. I'd be keen to check out other mods (anyone?) pm me or something with links. I'm also adding 20" front wheel with disc brake, and 24" rear wheel. Anyway, thanks again putbinoot.
hello, sorry about my english, im starting to learn it, so i just want to ask u if its correct to pay 700 usd for a raleigh mk2,,,,, someone in my town has one, and he wants 700 dollars for it,,,, would it be fair? how mucho does that bike cost????
Excellent Job Mate. I seriously considered doing a similar thing at one point and would've been seriously helped by your Video. In the end I was Blessed to get my Mk2 Prizzy. I had to modify that a bit too with a bit of Divine inspiration.
I am trying to put mk2 seat onto my mk3 but am hoping to do so without using gaffa tape & a weightlifting bar. Any advice/tips would be much appreciated ???
MKIII was £30 tools and pipe i had, just got the bar and seat from ebay. Plus did not want a MKI or MKII as youngest son sits where shifter used to be when i take him for a spin. I have a purple MKII frame if I want to set up that.
hey has that seat post been re-chromed.Now all you have got to do is super glue a door handle to the top tube,and no one would know it was'nt a mk2.Enjoyed your video thanks.

good work. I personally have never liked the MK3. Ypu would probably have been better off and saved up to get a classic MK1 or MK2.

Very practical video. I had wondered if you could modify the MK3 to look like a MK2.
Thanks for posting it

With the money you wasted on the mk3, which includes buying it!! You could have bout a decent mk2 or an ok mk1,
you should be asking your self, what was the point of making this video!!!!

@tristansster even when these mk3's were brand new (200 quid) mk2's were nearly double that.
And dont even get me started on the price of mk1's.
There was a one-off 16 speed which went for 5000 quid on ebay.
