chinese built phoenix with 28 inch wheels and rod brakes

[Metal Militia]

i picked this up at an auction because i thought it looked interesting. needs a good detailing, but is very solid. single speed. it's pretty heavy and it really cruises.

 

[ratina]

thats a sharp bike, very clean too

Looks like a rebadged Raleigh. I have one that looks the same and is a Raleigh. plus the fork i've only ever seen on a Raleigh. in any case great ride!

 

[excitebike]

those brakes look AWESOME!

I would like to know how much you paid for it...only if you want to... :wink: ...Jay

That's purty! It probably has a Phoenix sprocket inside that chain case. ~Adam

 

[Metal Militia]

no problem jay. i picked it up at a local auction for $45. i also think the same co. that built raleighs must have built it.
rustinkerer, cool sprocket. i hope this one's the same.

Nice bike. Heavy but bulletproof. I think most Chinese or Indian roadster bicycles are inspired by Raleigh type designs of about 40 years ago.

wow thats clean! that chainguard and front brake look amazing . any idea on what year?

 

[Metal Militia]

i'm guessing mid to late 80's. there were also 2 similar raleighs with 3 speed hubs dated 1986.

Yeah, kinda like Toyota's early Land Cruiser and Nissans' Patrol were knockoffs of the British Land Rover. Similar, but not the same. ~Adam

Very classy 'euro-looking' ride, how does that chainguard go on? Behind the chain and seat stays, cool.

Ride on!
