I haven't tried, but I seem to recall that Sheldon didn't recommend spreading these stems to accept a 25.4 handlebar. Let us know how it works if you try it!

These stems were used for three types of upright bars on the Raleigh Sprite 27s (and probably the Record, too). I definitely would not hammer a Sports handlebar in there!

I believe they also changed to 46T chainwheels in 73, which may explain the lack of brackets/supports. My 48T chainwheels have the brackets, the 46T chainwheels do not.

My Dynohub was in similar condition with a gritty feel when rotated. I used very fine sandpaper between the armature and the magnet and a lot of WD40, and that seemed to work.

That's an interesting bike! Are you going to leave it as is? The clamp-on Phillips brake may be my favorite feature.

I believe the 3 speed Sprite 27s were only offered in 1977 and perhaps 1978. I have one in a 25" frame that would be the last bike to go if I had to purge the fleet.

The Norman Rapide is a beautiful bike! Did I miss a thread on this one? What type of hub does it have?
