These are a bit more work to get in good rideable condition. they didn't use caged bearings yet, so when you take this thing apart, be sure to have a large catch container under it, or you'll be crawling around on the floor trying to find all the little balls. I did an early Gazelle once, and that's what I learned. Cool old bike. It will make a nice rider if you're on the taller side.
 
Seller is saying 1910 to 1930. Headtube says Dublin on it. The Raleigh Dublin factory opened in 1939. Asking seller for more history on it, if they have it, and how they dated it as 1930 or prior.
 
Owned by sellers great uncle. He rode it to work daily (from Terenure to Dublin)at the Guinness factory in the 1940s. Has been in storage since 1997 when inherited .
 
History can get a little distorted. But She has the uncles name, the town he lived in, the fact he worked at the guiness brewery in Dublin .she thinks the bike is earlier then it was by 9 years min. Not too bad! One owner bike, or at least in one family.


Sellers are often disillusioned about what they have or the history of it.
