A old timer a few doors down has asked me to sell his 'old bike' for a small commission so imagine my surprise when upon expecting some gas pipe from Halfords he presented a virtually mint one of these. http://sheldonbrown.com/superbe54.html
I can't say 100% it's a 'superbe' but it's deffo a Raleigh Roadster and by the trim and dynamo I think it's identical to Sheldon's.
Looks like it might have been re-furbed as the paint is just too good to be true but it's all there and just stunning condition. Full working dynamo and lights, barely sat on Brooks, only the key from the steerer tube lock is missing. He thinks it's from the 50's and although I guess they ran for a while it looks period correct and has the strangest push rod brakes I've ever seen .
Any idea on value ??
