Question about 1950-60 Raleigh...
 
... I was at a job this week, the owners were moving out and had a pile of stuff for the trash. I told then I would be coming back for the old bike.

It's an ALL STEEL Raleigh mens bike, red with chrome fenders, the saddle is also red/white but made by an Italian company so I think it's probably a replacement. The owner said it was his bike as a child and was from the 1950's but I tend to think it may be early 1960's.
I searched the web for a photo but could find nothing similar. I didn't take a real close look but I think it was a 3 speed and the top tube was curved.

Anyone know what model it may be?


thanks,

Rob

Probably a Sport. Roger

Could be a Colt, or a Space Rider.

+1. Prolly a Colt. Pictures would help.

or it could be a Lancer since it is a Mens bike... Given the red paint and chrome mudguards, I'm willing to bet that's what it is.
