1965 RALEIGH SPORTS MENS 3-SPEED VINTAGE ROAD CRUISER BIKE BICYCLE BROOKS SADDLE Description Here is an original VINTAGE (Sturmey Archer hub is dated 1965) men's Raleigh 3-speed road cruiser bicycle with 26" wheels. I believe this is a "Sports" model.It is in the original and very appealing colored factory paint. If you like clean original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. It was always stored inside in a clean dry area. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike! *The English Made Road Bikes are hot! They are great riding bikes and brought some real competition to the US Market that forever changed the bicycle world! This one appears to be almost all original! Check out the cool Brooks seat/saddle! Only the better models came equipped with these! It has a butted tubing frame, 3-piece cranks, a very cool sprocket, cool pedals, and more! *The tires are 26x1 3/8". They are vintage tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome rims front and rear. *The bike is an original THREE SPEED and the gears do operate. The hand controlled brakes are operable as well. (may need adjustment or possible cable replacement) *DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30 1/2". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 30 3/4". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 21 1/4". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 21 1/4". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust. *NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is fairly nice. The paint looks ok for a 40+ year old bike! Some of the decals are gone. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. The bike is missing the chainguard. Overall a very cool ride! If you Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you bid. *This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price *Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before! *This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE so bid early and don't miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced. *Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface ... read more
