A couple of the early 70's Raleigh Gran(d) Sport(s) somehow survived getting the torch. The first one I bought was converted to a 5 speed Sturmey Archer IGH, with fenders and a Nitto Mark's rack for a handlebar bag. Back then you could find a Sanyo generator hub fully built wheel for $95, so that went on to. This has been my PNW winter rider for a few years now.



A BF member pointed out a rare fully chromed G.S. on a SoCal Craigslist ad. I snapped that up and built it as a 2 speed kickback. Black Bluemel fenders are a nice contrast, I think.
