1963 Raleigh Sports Deluxe
I've finished fixing up my '63 Sports, and she'll need to find a good home soon. I cleaned/greased up everything, saved the Brooks, and put new Schwalbe tires on it. There is one spot on the rear rim that lost some of its chrome, and the front brake cable housing is worn from something...maybe a former basket? Completed listings for this bike model are all over the radar on eBay, so here I am.
My CL market is the Hudson Valley of NY with an easy drive to the NYC population.

$200? You'd have to find somebody who was both extremely desperate and also knows nothing about bikes to pull that off. I would ask $120, and not be sad if I got $100 for it.

I've sold a couple of clean Sports without the Brooks saddle for $110. Since this has the saddle, and I put some decent tires on it, $150-$175 is probably about right for my market.

Sounds reasonable.
Mos6502: I agree that maybe my ask was high, but.... I'm not familiar with that market, and also, he could ask high and maybe hit an eager buyer; if not, the OP could always lower the price.
You're in the Hudson Valley area? My niece goes to SUNY New Paltz. Maybe either she or her mom would be interested in the bike. I kind of doubt it but you never know. When you post it up, let me know and I'll let them know it's out there. Mom is a triathlete but maybe would want a change of pace bike, or maybe my niece could use it for campus transportation.

kevinsubaru- I heard back from sis-in-law. She and her daughter are not interested but she said a friend (in Albany) might be, so when you get it listed let me know so I can pass along a link to the listing.
