Too many project bikes and this one has to go. My ladyfriends seemingly limitless patience and garage space, actualy does have a limit after all!
This one looks completely original, except the rear tyre which is no longer a whitewall. The frame number indicates that it's a 1975 model.
It has a Sturmey Archer 3 speed grip shift and a dynohub with lights. White Brooks saddle and looks to have all of its Raleigh branded bolts. An even has the the original white plastic tray (not pictured), that sits on top of the chrome rear rack.
As seen in the photos there is some pitting on the chrome. The rear tube doesn't hold air for any length of time. An the brake cables are very sticky and could do with being replaced, or maybe just lubing an tweeking?
I have ridden it but because of the rear tube and cables I'm selling it as a project bike.
SOLD
I also have a pair of 48 spoke alloy BMX wheels with black tyres, if you're looking to hot rod it? Although I've not seen if these can be massaged into fit yet, and are not included in the price. But may be of interest?
