1970 Raleigh Superbe

Picked this up today, had to rebuild the rear hub, and also got the light to work. It is a 1970.

Bikes: roadsters, club bikes, fixed and classic

Complete (except the "p" in Superbe) and ready to roll for another 40 years.

Thanks to the Moderator who fixed my thread title. I picked up a Tourist Model a couple of weeks ago, so this makes a nice pair. I prefer the ride of the Tourist better, but the cable brakes are nice. The bike is not as nice as the picture makes it look, but it is complete, and will be fun to tinker with.

You would not believe how nicked up my Superbe is!
