I'm amazed that it's so original (even has the color matched Raleigh branded factory pump). It also has what I suspect is an
SA 4-Speed FG Dynohub with all of the original bits and bobs, lamps, clips, battery and so on. Any experts here able to confirm if this is an
SA FG Dynohub? It's dated 53. 5.
Regardless, once cleaned up and with an appropriate saddle, I think this will be a joy.

Wow, this one is outstanding. What a great find. You even got the grips!!! Doesn't look like she needs much. What a beautiful, classic roadster. I'm seeing fewer and fewer bikes like this as time goes by.
edit: From the catalog the Superbe Sports Tourist didn't get the Raleigh Sports transfer on the downtube. I thought it might be worn off, but no. Never had one.
