1951 Raleigh Clubman 3-Speed
For sale is a grey 1951 Raleigh Clubman. SOLD local pickup in Litchfield, Connecticut. This bike is well-sorted out and is ready-to-ride condition. This is an excellent choice for someone who wants a solid-riding old Clubman but doesn't want to pay the premium for all original paint and graphics. The bike is very attractive and standsout from the blue or red models in that it has a beautiful grey finish.

Thanks - the 27 inch wheel size helps size it up a little, but sometimes you just need the tall frame. I'm 5ft 8in and this one fits me well enough, just not riding it as much as my other bikes these days.

The two bikes that he has for sale and the late 30’s roadster, are priced below the cost of restoration.
Someone needs to give them a good home.

Getting those alloy Bluemels to make a nice fender line is worth $100 alone.

Someone needs to buy this bike. Good looking bikes from the 50s don't show up every day. GLWS.

For those who are unaware, this model was only made in a 22" frame size, so you can't be picky with these! Lovely example, but I reserve the right to make 23" my minimum with the exception of prewar machines!
