I purchased this bike in hopes of restoring it to a daily commuting bike. It's a very nice vintage Raleigh in great shape and almost entirely original. I had to replace the tyres and seat (not cheap) but everything else is original. This could be a great restoration project or just an all around great bike to own. There's some really neat history in the gran sport if that is something that interests you. I recently purchased a motorcycle and the bike is now slightly obsolete. Thanks for checking it out. Text or email with questions. (Nine one nine) 88six - 12 five five.
