picked up this cool Ranger aka Raleigh the graphics hooked me!

looks cool! reminds me a lot of my own bike

 

[cashman]

Thats killer!!! Looks great. It will make a good rider! I'm wondering if there was a connection between Meade or Schwinn and
Phillips that had those imported?

 

[Rat Rod]

They did some great artwork for that bike....very cool!

 

[Wildcat]

That black paint they used is excellent. A cleanup and 3 coats of car wax will make it look new.

 

[Hooch]

I feel the urge to wear a 10 gallon hat on it lol

 

[Hooch]

like how they ties the shifter cable in knots to make it work better? looks like lasso rope

 

[Wildcat]

I never thought of that. That would take up excess in an old cable if it was too long to adjust.

 

[schwinnmesa]

Wow, that's neat.

sans basket

Nice. That raleigh paint is great and a little polishing compound will bring it right back!

One of those was at my lbs for $1500 :shock:

Very cool indeed! I like the artwork. I also like the double badging, Phillips and ranger just about on top of each other I've got a ladies Dunelt in the shed that is pretty much the female version of this bike, minus the sweet graphics.

Digging up an old one here......

I just came across one of these tonight and it's in just as good as, if not better than shape as the one in this thread. Was a value or price ever reached? I really like the bike and mainly for it's fenders and headbadge but dont want to get ripped off if I decide to buy it.

Many moons ago there was a hardware chain in Texas selling bikes badged I believe "Texas Ranger"......I've never seen one myself, only read the posts on it over at the CABE. Could this be one of them?

This one didn't have anything marked w/ Texas on it. It looks just like the one in the pics of the one discussed in this thread. It still had a 70's era bicycle license on it from a small village in England on the down tube too.

Here's a link to some pics I took of it. It's dusty from storage but in great shape. What would be a reasonable price for something like this?
