[schwinnmesa]

[blackchop1]

i like raleighs alot.

if you ever dedcide to get rid of bike #1 or #2 pics posted in order give me a shout.

 

[blackchop1]

check the numbers on the rear hubs should be a date on there .

 

[KZ1000]

would the #'s be in the same place on all 4, Are you saying they would be on the sturmey archer hub and not on the frame ? I will check it out, Rick

 

[JoeyMac]

the frame would have a serial but Sturmey Archer stamped the manufacture date right on the hub. Pretty convenient eh?

 

[KZ1000]

Yeah very convienient, why didn't the rest of the worlds manufactures follow that trend

You should find a lot of info scouting through the Sheldon Brown site. But as with my raleighs, the wheel doesnt always match the year of the bike. Plus many were worked on or cannibalized to keep others running. You have some projects there, Im a big fan of the rod braked bikes. If you cant restore them to original, rod brakes are an awesome start for Steampunk bikes. You Scored Big Time, enjoy them

I love old British bikes. Here is a 1971 New Hudson Sports I bought brand new a few years ago. It sat in a bike shop storage area and never sold. The tubes were folded flat in the rims so I guess they never had air in them. The bike has a few scratches from storage over the years. It came with drop bars and I still have them. I bought it for $5 at a closeout auction.

I also have this nice 1939 Raleigh Sports Model. The bars are Lauterwasser racer style. It was a great find. Rides like new.

The twins are also a nice Raleigh made bike. They are 1952 and 53 Rudge De-Luxe Super Safety Tourist bikes. I rode the 53 on an 85 mile tour this May. Nice bike but heavy. 4 speed Dyno hub, rod brakes.

I have this 1970 Raleigh Sports that has been sitting around for a while. It had a 1970 hub but now has a 56 or 57 hub. Itis a nice riding bike. I have it for sale locally. I would sell it to a board member but shipping is high from Canada. $75 or more for most US cities. Wheels are nice, seat is a new cheapy. Frame is in good shape, fenders are good.

1950's Humber Sports, twin tube forks, Sturmey gears, original paint was the Humber blue. The frame on this bike is badly bent on both top and down tubes. Still rides nice.
