68(?) Raleigh sports

A single speed, with coaster brake and 'chrome accents'. The ad doesn't say the model buy I am guessing it is a Sports - around 68. Seller asking 100. What you all think? With the brooks included I think its fair.

If the saddle is useable, then it's worth about $40-45 on its own. I'm a bit suspicious though that the bike may have originally been a 3 speed + coaster and they removed the shifter and cable. I would offer $75 but have $100 on me if they don't budge and I REALLY wanted the bike.

I figured that too - clearly seems to be a 3spd hub. Just relaying as described. rebuilding the old SA if its the original will be fun too. I'm not dying for this bike, it would make a cool grocery getter.

Not being a three speed hurts its value as a grocery getter. Check the brooks to make sure there are no tears in the leather next to the nose rivets.

On a positive note, it is a larger framed model.

+1 Larger frame, if you need it, is a real plus.
