1935 Raleigh ( From Scrach)

[1951 C.W.S]

Looking to build this bike
( Don’t want to buy )
What hub would go on a bike of this year ? Sturmey k ,x or aw
Looking for quadrant shifter (and 1951 shifters for different bike )
All parts for rod brakes
Thank you for help in advance

Probably this machine would have been fitted with a K hub. "K5" means "1935," by the way.
We have lots of rod brake parts and possibly a proper shifter, certainly a quadrant type, in case you are still looking.

I think that I’m going to build a 1935 bike but not a Raleigh at the moment

I found lots of rod brake parts today, but only one side-activated one. It's NOS, by coincidence. We also have new rod brake shoes, lots in stock, and several gearcases for 26 and 28-in-wheel machines.
I found one quadrant shifter on a '39 Raleigh, which I am considering parting out so it may be available soon. That machine has an AW9 hub, 1939. I'd sell the whole bike for $100 plus shipping. Not much else on it is really much good and the frame is slightly bent. Cable brakes, too.
No luck with K or A hubs but we go to England every September and always come back with bike stuff, so there is agood chance we can find a K hub this fall, in cae you are still looking.
We have several Dynohubs. You will want an early Bakelite type, I would think. We have one from the fifties, working, for $50 on a good Raleigh 26" raised-center wheel. It even has a Michelin tire with original steel stem, that holds air...

Can you post some pictures of that 39’?

Does any one have any parts for a project like this?

Hi,

have been away in the U.K for good part of the Summer, still plan on culling the hers, essentially done nothing. Aside from the shifter what else are you looking for ?

Ok, perhaps I am missing something, you are looking to buy a whole bike and rebuild it ? Am off to get sleep, will check in the morning. was it you that was interested in the '48, but the price was too high ? Kindly refresh.

Thanks.
