Raleigh Lady's Sports, 1969, Brooks leather saddle, direct from the original owner. $20 at our neighborhood garage sale, it was supposed to be $15 but she didn't have change and I forgot to come back for it. There was a bathrobe or something obscuring much of it. I met a bike flipper later in the neighborhood and asked if he'd seen it; he said yeah, but he had too many Sports models! Keep looking, they are out there.
