in order to generate sales.....
An interesting concept.

I never realized so many pretty girls liked Raleigh Choppers. I always thought they were over stylized and too juvenile. Perhaps I was over thinking the issue.

I don't think anyone can complain about her outfit....

1956 Raleigh Sports and goodies
Picked this up after meeting BF member @WGB this morning. Had some good bike talk despite the bitter cold winds. I'm going to take my time with this one. Can't wait to see it go in the spring alongside my Superbe. Cool Raleigh memorabilia included thanks to WGB.
'56 with SW hub (two part indicator)
Front hub oiler.
Shifter in nice shape.
Other side of indicator. I didnt know the two piece was put in production so early on the SW hubs.
Booklet is a time capsule. And, is that what i think it is?
Bottom bracket oiler
She approves.
