Greatings from Portugal
I'm Nuno from Portugal and I'm here to learn more about old bikes.
I have a Raleigh bike that belonged to my wife's grandfather.
By serial number (BP 663?) Should be from the late 50's, early 60's.
I would like to restore it but I can not find photos of "equal" bikes to get an idea of how it would be new...
Best regards.

Portugal
The NY Times travel writer says he's asked all the time "where should I go on vacation?" He always answers, "Portugal. Why?, because it's great."
If you've not visited it yet, look at Sheldon Brown's retroraleighs pages.

I already researched the site "Sheldon Brown's" and could not find specific information about my bike. It was there that I deduced that it would be from the late 50's, early 60's ...
As soon as the forum allows, I will put pictures of the bike.
And yes, Portugal it is great!!!
