I'm getting rid of my Raleigh stuff and this is first up: it's from around 1938. It's complete, with Sturmey Archer KB7 and BF8 hubs and drum brakes (rare, apparently) Raleigh patented chromium spokes; Raleigh spearpoint mudguards; Terry sprung saddle with plate intact;Sturmey Archer quadrant lever; original Miller dynamo lighting front and rear, which is connected and working. I believe it's a Raleigh Sports X Tourist model 37, but I can't swear to it. There is a number on the underside of the bottom bracket - 109089 - but I'm not certain that this is the official frame reference. There should be a number on the seatlug, but there's probably been some WWII over-painting, so if it's there, it can't be seen. The tyres hold air and the bicycle can be ridden. Anybody want this before it goes on ebay or is broken up? I'm looking for around £125.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
