Cruisin' on my Bluebird
This is my only lightweight bike.
A 1961 Raleigh built, Western Flyer Tourist, 3 speed Sturmey Archer coaster, all original, with the optional rack, except tires and tubes.
A great rider, aside from a rather uncomfortable saddle. Someday when I have some time, I will clean it up and polish it. Not in bad shape for it's age.

A very smooth shifting and riding bicycle. Also, the lights work perfectly.

I like it. When I was a kid all bikes came from one of four sources, hand-me-down, Western Auto, Montgomery Ward, or Sears & Roebuck. Looks like someone changed the handle bar before it came to you.

Be there a maker's name on the end caps of the bow pedals?

Recall seeing this pattern previously but do not recall the name.
