Look Ma, No Hands!
Got this 63 Huffy sportsman cleaned up the other day. A couple years back someone with a guest account posted about needing a look at decals, so here's what I got. Including pictures of before/current, the frame number on bottom bracket, not on left seat post and Miller generator 53R, Miller rear lamp 598. Hub is a TCW III dated 63 2, coaster brake. This seems to be the basic sportsman version, and am guessing that based on brakes, fenders and fender struts as listed in catalog pages posted on the cabe. (Thanks btw) It appears to be on par with hercules/triumph/robin hood bikes of the same timeframe. Came with the Dunlop endrick style rims, galvanized spokes, non soldered brake cable end, two piece screw brake handle, Raleigh logo marked crank arm/front hub, but no logo on the stem top. Pat'd applied for on SA plastic gear pulley, compared to one pulled from a 68 Robin hood. Gear shifter still metal, but red and black SA graphics, similar to a speedy switch with the red 3.
