The name of this bike is best said in a 80's hair metal scream SPAAAAAAACE RIIIIDAAAAH!
24" tires with a three speed sturmey archer coaster brake. I haven't cleaned it up or looked for a serial or anything, there is a sticker on it saying it was made in canada for Raleigh doesn't say by whom. Just been having fun with it (see the last pic :D ) Real cheap, the shifter cable needed to be reseated in the little notch (and still needs to be fine tuned to get second gear lined up properly). I'll need to get a top loader stem if I want to keep the apes (the shims that came with it were useless) as well as longer brake and shifter cables, some red cables would be pretty awesome.

Sears Tachometer, not sure if it works or not.

My sister had a similar girls bike that was called a transit when I was growing up, I always wanted to steal her chain guard as a kid, now I have my own so I'm pretty stoked on that. (and I have her old bike too but the frame on that one is bent out of shape).
 
Yeah I like them guards, I have one from something called a Reagle or something, some design, I had a few transits before. nice bikes
