I really like the Raleigh. I was looking for an early 50s tall Sports that was either over painted or with a finish that was too far gone to preserve. The idea was to do a lot of careful prep work and build a like new restoration. This looks like a good platform for that sort of build. Tall frame, pre 1955. Of course, the project would cost at least 3 times the value of the finished bike, but...who cares? I ended up buying a Rudge that that is mostly a preservation project, but with a very challenging front fender restoration.
