THE Raleigh Grand Sports - GONE!

Seller also has a Royal Enfield and a Peugeot and a Sports Tourer that are nice.

STUNNING combination of paint/chrome. I've never seen anything like that.

Oh, a Grand Sports! A '61 Grand Sport started it all for me. About two years ago I saw a green '61 Grand Sports with beuatiful campy and GB components, and Bluemel's fenders on the internet somewhere, and I could stop looking at it. I went back to that page three times in one day! At that time I only dabbled in cycling by occasionally fixing up balloon tire bikes. That GS sparked my interest in road bikes. I now know how rare those bikes are. One day I will own one just like the one I saw!

Raleigh offered at least three generations of Gran Sport models. The one shown by the OP is the rare 1970 version as shown in this catalog page:
https://www.jaysmarine.com/TH_Raleigh_Cat_70_6.html
Redneckwes's is the 60s variant, and then there's the blue/white mid 70s Gran Sport/Grand Sports.
