Came across this Gran Sport at least 4 years ago and for $10.00 got the frame, fork, stem and bars with a bunch of crap components... the finish was in really rough shape and the decals were all but gone but she was / is a nice straight Carlton made Raleigh with a 531 frame and fork.

Rocked her as an SS for a good bit...



Ran her as a fixed gear... pic taken before I had the pond.



Ran her as a 12 speed too...

Have always loved the way this bike rides... she is light and fast and very comfortable being that she's a sport class bike and not a full on racing bike.

Last fall I started a little project which is almost done and figure she's showable as no-one will see the little bit of work I have left to do... except me.
