[h=2]1937 Men's Raleigh Sports 3-speed 23" frame - $150 (Brookline)[/h]For sale is a classic English-made men's Raleigh Sports Tourist from 1937. Size is the hard-to-find 23", which should fit folks from 5'9" to 6'2". Mostly original, including full chain case and stainless steel spokes, 26 x 1 3/8" wheels, caliper brakes, Terry saddle, rear Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub (marked AW-7), quadrant shifter, Raleigh rubber-block pedals, and rear spring-loaded rack. I've replaced the tires and tubes, and I don't think the grips are original, but otherwise it's the way it would have rolled out of the Nottingham factory over 75 years ago! The frame finish has plenty of scratches and scrapes, but the chromed parts will clean up well with some elbow grease. Mechanically this bike has been completely overhauled, rear hub works great, and it is ready for riding.
Firm price is $150 cash only, located in Brookline/Coolidge Corner.
