The brazing and finishing is much worse than my '67 Raleigh Sports though. This bit on the fork really grates on my ocd.
This Raleigh was, without doubt, the poorest workmanship I have seen in a bike. The work was sloppy and the chain stays were not even the same length. Pooey--stinko. Anyone care to guess how much it sold for on Ebay years ago..?
