Has anyone heard of these bikes? The one I saw on CL looks like a classic 3 speed Raleigh style bike,. jus wondering if they are English or a knock off. It looks really good from what I can see in the pictures and reading the description

I have a Sheffield 3 speed made by Free Spirit. I'm not sure if it's the same bike, but the one I have is pretty crappy. I think a Raleigh would be ten times better.

I sold one of those a while back on Craigslist. Mine said Sheffield on a decal on the tubing and it had a Free Spirit Headbadge so that makes it a Sears brand bike and it was made in China. It weighed a ton or two. I'd pass on it if you are looking for anything of quality.
