Speaking of steel rims, another steel shod 3 steed made it 's way into my stable. It's a Raleigh RSW 16 Compact. 1966 SA AW hub date. The tires and cables were shot but everything else cleaned up almost mint. I got the rare white vinyl pannier bag with it too. I paid $150 cdn at a local vintage shop for it. The owner had it out on the sidewalk for two weeks and no takers. I'd love to find a pair of NOS Dunlop 16x2 cream tires for it. The black cheapies actually make the chrome pop. I used black cable housing to tie it in but would switch to white in a heartbeat. The Sturmey Archer twist grip shifter is super retro cool. Believe it or not, I haven't folded it yet.
