Welcome!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I joined but I’ve yet to do an introduction.
My name is Chris and I’m from Colchester in the U.K.
ive been building up a collection of bikes of the last few months, my first was an unknown bike, followed by a ‘78 Ladies Raleigh Transit, followed by ‘77 Male and Female models of Raleigh Travellers. I will share images once I pass the milestone of 10 posts.

Welcome Chris. I loved the older Raleighs. A lot different from the same name recent bikes.

I’ve been browsing the Vintage section but so far I’ve yet to find the details, I think once I reach 10 and can post photos, they will help identification of the mystery bike.
part 2 of the current collection.
1947/52(?) Hercules Artisan, currently being refurbished, purchased as a wreck.
1983 Raleigh Superbe - Gents
1979 Raleigh Superbe - Ladies
1955 Phillips Vox Populi - Ladies
1985 Raleigh Caprice - Ladies
Of the Collection, some of “safe” as in they will never be sold, some may be sold to help fund repairs to the Hercules.
The nicest riding is the Men’s Raleigh Traveller, though I’m hoping to get the Hercules in to a better state.
