Here is my 24" 1975 Raleigh, I picked it up from a mates shed having been painted with a paint brush and looking a bit rough. Anyway, it has now been repainted and stickered and kept as original as possible, there are no dinks or rust in the frame at all.
I'm not sure of the model but I know it was made in 1975 in Worksop by Carlton for Raleigh.
The wheels are large flange campag hubs, double butted chrome spokes on mavic MA2 rims. Dia-compe brakes with winneman break levers. Suntour superb gear levers, front and rear mech, ( the rear will be changed to an original Raleigh one. ) Bars and stem are ITM but again I have the original Raleigh ones if needed, the stem is a little shorter.Brown Condor saddle with white cover. Original bottom bracket but I have put a sealed one in for the time being as there is a little play in the other. The chainset is a 40/50 SILSTAR with 170 crank, ( the left one is from a TA set as the silstar has gone walk about ) and early 80's handle bar tape............. All this for a meagre £250. Prefer not to post.
