Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi All,
I found this barn fresh bike locally. It appears to be a 1936 Raleigh that someone over the last 81 years has replaced the following items: quadrant shifter, hand grips and kick stand. Everything else on the bike appears to be original including a 3" Raleigh Bell and a Veeter Cyclometer. The rear hub is a K6 and the front wheel has a radial lacing spoke pattern. I plan to cut off the bicycle lock that is located near-by the rear brake. The paint shows that it has been subjected to weather elements and I plan to use a light oil to both clean and then polish its' paint. I would appreciate any input on this bike, as I plan to make it road worthy again!
