Raleigh NX3 Retro Glide

[sfgascott]

I found this on FB marketplace today for $125. I bought it to cannibalize it because I need the tires for one bike, the Springer Fork for another, and the black wheel set with a Sturmey-Archer 3 speed for another. Once I got it, I have mixed feelings now because it's actually a pretty nice bike as it is. Seems like a shame to part it out for my other projects. Look at the cool fenders... what to do?

I would have a tough time breaking that up as well. Interesting frame, it looks like low comfortable ride?

I don't know yet. Spent an hour and a half travel time on my lunch hour yesterday to get it, tires were flat, but it looks mint. Put it in my storage unit and went back to work. Ice storm today, so I probably won't see it again until Tuesday. I'm going to ride it and see though.

Found a girls version here for 50. Will also buy for parts. But for u, u can resell that as is and get enough to buy those parts instead. Save the work[emoji4]

I took it out for a 3 mile ride yesterday. It's not as easy to pedal as my Electras. Might have to change the rear cog.

Worked at a Raleigh dealer back in the day and assembled many of those, they are nice rides, you got a deal on yours, i think they went for over $400 on the showroom floor
