Hi everyone,

I'm new to these forums. Thanks to my 6-year-old I've returned to the biking world. I'm looking for a vintage bike and am trying to find out the difference in quality between there models but have had trouble finding information online--even on Sheldon's site. I hoping you can all help me determine the smarter purchase between a Raleigh sports, a (Raleigh?) BSA, (both from the 50/60's) and a Raleigh Sprite (5-speed) from the early 70's. The sports is 45 more than the BSA, and 75 more than the Sprite. They're all cruise style bikes and will be used for riding around towns, bike trails, and local getaways. I would some feedback on the best bike to select.

Thanks, all!
