1981 Raleigh DL-1

Finally riding a big boys bike
1981 Raleigh Tourist DL-1






Less common 22 inch frame (31" standover height) with full chain case so your trousers don't get soiled !

Original polished alloy frame pump and well worn but functional Brooks B66 leather saddle.

Bike has been fully disassembled, washing and waxing of painted surfaces, polishing of chrome parts, replacing and greasing all bearings (headset, bottom bracket, front & rear wheel hubs). New old stock pedals. Paint touched up in spots.

AW hub has been fully disassembled , all parts cleaned, reasssembled and adjusted.

Shifts quickly and smoothly.

Bike rides very well and is very hushed with drivetrain noise contained in chain case and all bearings serviced. I love the bike but realistically a bit too big for me.

Approximately 50 miles riden since full teardown.

Prefer not to ship but open. Bike in Detroit, MI
