1969 Raleigh Sports 3-speed, 21"
Hi all, trying to sell the lightly restored and in excellent condition, Vintage Raleigh Sports. Asking $300. This bike came to me in superb condition and only minor work needed. The 3-speed hub works perfectly. The bike is nearly all original. Stock handlebars, seat (Brooks B67), Sturmey Archer 3-speed shifter and internal hub.
- Tires upgraded to the Schwalbe Delta Cruiser in tan.
- New front brake pads (I have a second pair of salmon brake pads for the rear)
- New brake cables (housings were in excellent condition, so I've kept the original)
- Installed a rear rack
- Velo Orange silver road pedals
SHIPPING: I'm happy to ship this bike; not having looked at pricing, I'd image around $200?

It really is. I'll likely drop the price on it. In hindsight, I was a bit ambitious. I'd like to get it out of my garage and on to its next adventure. =)
