'61 Raleigh/Cool Royce Union

[ej599]

Picked up these 2 today. I'm keeping this Raleigh as I've been wanting one. The rear hub is stamped '61. It's got a couple busted spokes on both wheels but I have a rear wheel. I hope I can find a front wheel spoke for that dynamo hub. I may strip the rear wheel and cut and thread one. I'm kind of unfamiliar with Raleigh's so any spoke info is welcome.

Dynamo hub.

What's this? The indicator chain isn't broke? I've got 2 speedster's and another raleigh all with busted indicator chains! I thought I might have some kind of curse on me.

Also got this Royce Union with a cool frame, cool seat, good tires (that's a switch) and a Bendix RB2.

Obligatory foot shot.

Great score. That Raleigh looks like a ratrod just the way it is.

The royce union is just begging to get all hooked up.

....that Royce Union is really cool.

Yeah, Royce Union made some really cool frames. Those skinny forks limit your tire choices unless I swap em' out. I wish the seat was white because I'm thinking green metal flake for this one. Here's another R.U. from my collection. Coincidently this one was $25 also.That's the only picture I could find so Merry Christmas everyone.
