My 1955 Raleigh Lenton came to me complete and original for $100.00... I wrapped the bars with leather ($20.00), swapped the saddle for an old Wrights W3N (free), and added Bluemel fenders ($30.00) which brought the total up to $150.00.

The 1973 Gran Sport was a $10.00 thrift store find that I built up with spares from my shop and I did build a new back wheel for it... have no idea what it is worth as one might have to factor in the 25-30 hours of work that went into the decoupage and the intense cleaning and polishing of the shiny bits.
