Traded a set of bent steel rims, and old walmart seat and ten bucks for this Raleigh. Quite frankly I don't know much about it , but I belive it's a 77-78 model. It was rusting away and I couldn't take it so now I have another project. I dont believe the bars are original, but I have a set of Cinelli drop bars that would work nicecly. Other than the saddle, it's all there. Paint is not good, so this may be one for an attempted rattle can restore.
