anyone knows the model c will fit with a raleigh sports? is it just for older 27" road bike? Thanks!
The Raleigh has 590mm wheels with a big wide tire and a massive steel fender. A 27" wheel is 630mm with a skinny/short tire and often many frames had barely any room for a fender. I'd say anything that fit on a 27" bike would fit on a Vintage 3-speed Raleigh roadster. If anything it'll have a bit more clearance rather than too little.
Worst case scenario is you would have to modify the way it mounts to the frame which often happens with any bike. The upright length from the wheelstay to the rack is the more important dimension.
If the price is right I'd say go for it.
