1987 Sears Free Spirit Sheffield 3 Speed

My son alerted me to this bike at curb down the street. He noticed gunwalls, meaning it may be vintage. I went for a look and saw Kendas with almost all their tread and a Sturmey Archer. My old Huffy...

Couple very interesting locals for sale

Very interesting rare looking Raleighs. First is one claimed to be 1961 with an IGH and also a derailleur. A mix of parts and maybe all doesn't add up, but the price seems reasonable for what is...

Raleigh Royal Roadster disappointment

Got some pics of a European model Raleigh that I was considering. Turns out it is a women model. Not trying to be sexist, but I would guess that would knock the collector value down considerably....

Waiting for pics

i am waiting for pics on this bike at this time to see what it is. Certainly not the quality surely as the older ones, but still could have quite a bit of “mojo” as it would still be 40 yeats old. It...

Raleigh Royal Roadster

Needing a bit of help from the experts. I am going to be in contact with someone with a Raleigh Royal Roadster. I haven’t talked to him yet, but from the limited info I have it was purchased in...

Might see what co-op has

Thanks Big Chief for clarifying that a bit. As the other poster mentioned there are Raleigh bars up to 25" wide. I may see if the co-op has some. I didn't want to switch to 1" bars, as then the...

Yes, mine are narrow

I just measured bar width on mine, and they were only 21” wide so I may look for some wider ones. Are the Raleigh bars a proprietary diameter then?

Handlebar bend choices

I searched this thread and didn't see much on the topic, but do see several pics. My 64 has the factory bars that were common to the era and kind of narrow and bent well back, so steering is kind of...

Loose bearing assembly at factory ????

I am doing bearing lube on a 64. Reassembly of the bottom bracket with the loose balls was fairly easily accomplished with laying the bike on one side, and dropping the balls into the fixed cup...

Eventually

Eventually I will service the hub. A lot to do so far with this 64 to really bring it into half way decent riding condition.

Yes indeed

I checked the lower race. It had a few pits and was not perfect by any means, but nothing really atrocious. One can feel the imperfections while turning bars (not fully assembled yet), but it is...

steering head bearings

Sorry about the poor pic, but you will get the idea. Steering on my new to me 1964 was a bit stiff, so I did a bearing lube. Perhaps 6 bearings on the bottom of the head were just a bit less than...

Shifts and spins fine now

It operates just fine now. Bike was purchased last year and I fought shifting a bit until I got rid of the twist grip shifter. I added a liberal amount of oil. Perhaps a dozen rides last year, and it...

Thanks Big chief. On the rear hub, does oil squirted into the hub migrate to the axle bearings? The video doesn't seem to show any greasing of axle bearings. 1964 AW is the hub, and it spins freely...

Tearing into it now

Well, thanks to you enablers, I am tearing into the 1964 Huffeigh Sportsman now. Got the cotters out with a modified chain breaker, and even got the crank out. Rust and crud inside. Good call I think...

You guys are setting me up for lots of work. I do have the Harbor Freight chain breaker for the cotters. I have a couple C spanners from various sources too. One pedal is stiff, as are the steering...

Did a search

Nice info to get me going. Did a search for a cotter press, and a tutorial came up on modifying a Harbor Freight chain breaker. I have one of those. Well that might be the ticket. Thanks much

Thanks Big Chief. I am fairly handy, but will surely make the cotters the last thing I would "maybe" do. They spin nicely now and probably better left alone.

So I assume those cranks come apart like the others? From what I read, the cottered attached crank arms are stubborn. I am not sure when I will attempt some bearing lube attention. Front wheel a bit...

Guessed it to be all Raleigh

I guess, not knowing things that the crank was just period for a 1964 Raleigh Sport with the cotter etc.
