Raleigh sold bikes all over the planet and specifications varied... due to their propensity to become damaged a lot of chain guards were removed and when I was a wee lad the chain guard was one of the first things to come of my bikes and I did this when they were brand new knowing that it would cause problems.
Gene told me that his bike never had a chain guard but maybe he meant that it had a chain guard just long enough for it to be captured on film...
