As we all know, a Raleigh Record is the bottom of the line Raleigh ten speed, all steel, rather stylish in a superficial kind of way, but very heavy... I bought my first one used for a hundred bucks in 1978, sold it for a hundred bucks a year or two later... and wouldn't pay that much for one now, since I don't need one.
One with 24" wheels would be worth more only if someone needed such a small one. They are pretty rare in that size, but still... it's a Record.
Actually, I'd love to find one; it's exactly what I need for my daughter, who is a strong cyclist for her size but much too small to ride a bike with bigger wheels than that. So I probably would be willing to pay... oh, I dunno, fifty or seventy bucks for a nice one.
