The breaks are (Raleigh)-Weinmann 610 (front) and 750(rear). In the front there is a 36-hole Sturmey Archer highflange-hub, the rear-hub is a 36-hole Weco highflange hub, but I think it was replaced sometimes, because the rims are different.
To me this bike seems similar to the Raleigh Sprite, but I think they had no chrome mudguards. Is it right, that it was build by Gazelle in the Netherlands? But in which year?
Up to now I never found this bike anywhere in the web….
So I ask again: Does anybody know this bike?
I would be very grateful for some informations!
Thanks and many greetings,

Cool, I'm doing the same researches for my Raleigh Rialto and I'm so glad that I found someone else that have one
Mine is a 10 speeds blue with a "classic" handlebar. I receive it as a gift for my solemn communion
That should be around 1971-72-73 (need to check)
For now, I started to clean it up and replace some parts that are too damaged (e.g. pedals)
As you can see on the picture, I removed lights, dynamo and mudguards...
if someone wants these removed parts, let me know.
