ALL gorgeous! Those Schwalbe Cream Tyres really make a difference, don't they! This is my current obsession ... a 40s or 50s BSA: Built Like a Gun!

More pix here!

Picked up a Raleigh Sports awhile back and haven't stopped collecting since, some are heavy, some light. Here are the rides:
1977 Grand Prix (Repainted and turned into a porteur) 1976 Sprite (Single Speed)
1980 Competition GS
1969 Sports

Beautiful machine!

Oh man, that BSA is gorgeous! Perfect bones. What's the ETA for restoration work? Love to see it when it's finished.

Heck, I want to see the 'soon to arrive' BSA hub. Supposedly based on the SA model K.

+1 on the Schwalbe fitted Sports.

And, as the gents up north said, it shifts in the opposite direction from the SA - pull tight is 3rd gear ... who would've thought ...

The latest Robin Hood 1962-65

Rescued it last August.

The latest build. Fifties Raleigh frame with fancy paint rocking a fixed Bendix 2 speed hub

Probably ride this one at the Wheeling Wheelmen's St. Pat's Ride.

She's a Raleigh LTD-3. 1974. 3 speed. Not that the 3 speeds all work.

Beeeeeee-u-ti-fullllll! There are a number of things you can try to get all 3 speeds working ... all of them very easy. Let me know if I can help!

Nice shot of the LTD.
Probably just needs a twist of the cable adjuster.
