Raleigh Gran Sport
I have two matching Raleigh Gran Sport bicycles (a his & hers). We purchased these new in 1970 and (except for frame sizes) both bikes look like the attached pictured. They have been ridden very little and mostly just hung in our garage over the years. Aside from that, both are still in pretty impressive original condition. OK, I have wheel upgrades on mine but I did save the original wheels.
I took my bike into a local bike shop and just learned my fork has a couple cracks and not safe to ride on. Should I try to find a fork replacement so I can ride again or give these up to a collector? I would doubt I'll ever be able to find the exact part replacement today. Would the bike be worth more with a cracked original fork or worth more with a replacement fork that one can ride on?
