Ok, I'm back. I just wrote a nice long post with lots of attachments and then accidentally deleted it.
Where was I? Oh, there's this thing. It was built in the Carlton factory around 1966. It's not 531 but it has chrome lugs. Might be a Rapide.
It'll look closer to this when I'm done.
I had a shiny DL-1 for a while.
I got bored, though and ratted out an old rust bucket that I found.
I picked up this sad looking Nottingham Phillips. It's supposed to look like a Sports but I put it back together with different parts.
Oh, I almost forgot these two Sports. They're mostly parted out but they're free for the asking and postage. I've got other parts, some for free, some for a little money.
Then theres the ghosts of Raleighs past. This is a '28 Golden Arrow. I traded it to a friend who put modern wheels on it and gave me back the originals. I've had them on about 6 other bikes but I think they'll stay on the black Phillips.
This was one of the bikes he traded me for it. It's a '49 Sport.
This was an 80s MTB. It wasn't made in England but it was still pretty nice.
Here's a '59 Birmingham Phillips. It's pre merger and has Phillips chainring, Phillips pedals and Phillips grips.
The fenders are not the usual Raleigh pattern things either.
And here's a '59 Hector. It looks a lot like a Birmingham Phillips to me.
And here's a '67 "The James" that I'll be flipping when the snow goes away. Doesn't look like a Raleigh but it claims to be made in England.
