2 RALEIGHS

[Rat Rod]

Found these at the resale shop this week...both are 23" bikes (58cm).

Don't know much about the newer model, but it is super light and seems to be high quality stuff.

I was really shocked to find the newer one at the resale shop. It was actually quite funny.

I walked up and there were 3 or 4 people standing around looking at the bikes and I could see
this newer looking Raliegh as I walked up. I didn't even pause...just walked up, grabbed it
and wheeled it away. They all sort of looked at me like....he's not very picky is he...ha ha.

It was sandwiched between a sea of Magnas and Next bikes.

Here's the newer bike

Here's the older model

whats really funny is the people that where there bought the next and called you the fool hahahaha.

This is probably true..ha ha.

This babys will be hitting the CL very soon..just need to figure out what the newer one is worth.

I found it interesting that the frame says "Made in the USA"

Does the old one have araya rims?
I think I have the same exact wheels that were on a huffy road bike in an old CL deal.
The hubs are cheap and the freewheel is heavy as heck, but I'm going to make it a singlespeed anyways so, and it's not going on a classic so they're just fine.
