İts looks good ..

Y cuánto cuesta ?

I have an older Raleigh bicycle. How do I determine its birthday?? Thanks in advance. Jerry.

Так и что же в нем хорошего?

nice bike,,,,,,i need one!!!!

should have 26x 1&1/4 wheels rather than the 1& 3/8th, unless they changed them for the export version, anyway it's a nice thing

It's way too neat a bike to toss. The frame actually look to have decent paint. The extra hole in the lever bodies is exactly there to allow locating the levers in a comfortable place (or to give you more throw if you're using a drum instead of a caliper). I'd be interested in knowing if the brake calipers have reach for the slightly smaller 1-3/8 rims. There aren't many tire choices left for 26 x 1-1/4. Converting to 1-3/8 opens a few options up.

Very cool, I love old Raleigh’s. Have a couple myself. I live in Ontario, is there any old bike rides or shows this summer?

So I just scored a Sport for $60. Going to have it rebuilt, but does the gear change with just a flip of the switch or do you hold it down somehow?

I agree with your guess - late 1950s looks correct to me based on the frame decals. Nice find.

Looking forward to more on this series. Such lovely details on that bike.

I had the same bike in 1976 in green and white. It was my Dad's, but I used it more when I was 11. He must have sold it, everyone complimented it and wanted it for the 531 tubing. That does sound like a welding wire. I wouldn't give up until I got that wire out. I don't care if you have to make a tool. My opinion, organized labor destroyed any competition with Asian bike manufacturing.

i have one off these been up in the addict for 15 years - i Frankenstein it to a moututenbike - complet XT series and we are all the way back in v brake time . and rock shox front . ... Thanks . for that little run down memory lane -

Nice find.😊

I just restored a Norwegian produced Moulton from 1068. I have no squeak in the front. I only just tried riding it yesterday and the thing I liked least was the short handlebar length. I need to adjust saddle position & hight also.

Amazing bike I want one. And thats the exact model I want.

Joia rara...muito linda e valoroza...27..3..2024...Sao Paulo Brasil.

Cool bike.

i have a similar frame on hand, which curiously does not feature a BB plastic cable guide buther rather 4 distinct brazed on cable stops for the shifting cables around the BB. does your model as well?

Cool! You done a neat job....envy.

Good to see someone sharing sympathy for these 'classic' Raleigh Roadsters. It's frequently possible to bring them back into use with a bit of TLC.

Lucky find; a rare bike even here in the UK. Have you weighed it? I'd be interested to know.

Cracking looking bike, I'm more than a little envious. Enjoy.

A classic 🤙🏼

I had a Super Course that I bought in 1973. Must have been a Mark 1 because it had no Japanese equipment. Upgraded to a Raleigh International after a year (I worked in a Raleigh shop in the summers while in High School). My Super Course was Bronze Green and a fine bike.

just bought a 51 sports, pick it up next week

Nice bike, miele means honey in italian and the E at the end is pronounced like you would pronounce the E in "Electricity" or just like the first E in "miele". The frame look extremely similar to what Bianchi offered at time as entry level mtb/touring

That's a lovely old bike you have there. The white tip on the rear mudguard is something they did in the second world war. Because of the blackout when you couldn't show any light at night in case the German bomber crews saw it, the white paint was supposed to make you more visible to car-drivers when you were riding at night.

Impressive. The saddle, to me, is quiet eye catching, along with the BSA initials in the sprocket. Thanks for the video.

Cute cat!!! Love the bike too.

Bikes haven't changed a bit actually

You know, taking the time with fine steel wool on those seat coils will yield a nice look😊

A tough call as to what to refurbish and what to simply clean up. Cheers to your efforts, Tom.

Something like north road handlebars might be nice, but perfectly fine as it is

Great find

Theres so much competition in the UK that sell for quite a bit - spose US being a big place you can pick things up locally - course i don’t know what you paid - great find either way

Looks to be in great condition

If you can see whether the handlebar stem and seat post are original black, rather than repainted, that would be an indicator of Austerity Finish, and reinforce that dating. In Austerity Finish, the handlebars are normally black too, but this would be the early days of austerity and stocked parts would be used up first.

Yo tengo una de esas y una de mujer

I signed up to encourage you and wish you success ❤😂🎉

Neato

Love a nice 5 speed.

beautiful!!! i rode a raleigh sports at one point.

Wow! What an exceptional find, well done. Looking forward to more about it. It looks like it just needs a bit of TLC.

Cool bike

What a wonderful find! A serviceman returned from WW2, would be my guess as to why it’s over there.

love the bike! awesome as always!

Thanks for your response. I too had a Lupa at one point. It was a nice machine, a bit too big for me so it moved on. (I see now - as I’m looking more closely at the mountain bike - that it was made in Taiwan. I believe that some higher-end machines were made in Canada, though.)
