This rare early Raleigh came from my friend Roger. He acquired it in the 1970s and subsequently stripped it down and restored it. You can read his article about it further down the page in an extract from ‘The Boneshaker’ magazine of Summer, 2000.
There are a few scratches to the paintwork, but otherwise it is as Roger restored it decades ago. The nickel is in superb condition, the brakes with inverted levers work well, in fact it’s in excellent all round condition, and is ready to ride.
